Advertise with us Thursday, March 27, 2003 How to Write a Statement of Teaching Philosophy By GABRIELA MONTELL Career trends and features Previous articles You've polished your CV and cover letter and lined up your letters of recommendation. Your application for a faculty position is ready, with one big exception: You're still struggling to write a statement of your teaching philosophy. The task is daunting even for the most experienced Ph.D.'s but it's increasingly difficult to avoid, as a growing number of departments are requiring applicants to submit such statements in their job applications. We talked to dozens of professors and administrators to learn what they look for when they read a statement of teaching philosophy, and we assembled their advice on getting started and avoiding some costly mistakes. Here are their tips and a list of dos and don'ts: Getting Started "Do I even have a teaching philosophy?" you may ask yourself. Of course you do, says Matt Kaplan, associate director of the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching at the University of Michigan. Every doctoral graduate has a teaching philosophy, whether or not they realize it. Let's face it, you may not be the most experienced instructor, but "you've been a student for a long time, and you've been in all types of classes, so you have opinions about teaching and learning and what works and doesn't work," he says. If you don't have a lot of teaching experience, "think about the great teachers you've had and what made them so effective, what they did that inspired you to spend six years in graduate school at a cost of $1,000 a month," says Andrew Green, a Ph.D. counselor in the Career Center at the University of California at Berkeley.

New Tools for Teaching by James J. O'Donnell, University of Pennsylvania NEW TOOLS: The future is now (2001 version) Today, one dot.com boom and one dot.bust later, much that is said here is now taken for granted. What is worth noticing is how little the paradigm What will begin to change the paradigm? My suspicion (October 2001) is that wireless handheld devices (like the little Blackberry palm-filler that I read e-mail on surreptitiously during business meetings) will change people's habits noticeably but not as much as the original net invasion did. What lies beyond? What indeed. At Penn, more faculty than ever use many of these tools. In 1999, we put together a campus-wide project, also called "New Tools for Teaching," which brought together faculty and staff from all twelve of Penn's schools to design a common environment for the most current tools of technologically assisted teaching and learning. That project maintains a website which all readers of these pages should explore. For now, we use "Blackboard", and guests may see part of what we do at http://courseweb.upenn.edu

128. REACHING THE SECOND TIER: LEARNING AND TEACHING STYLES IN COLLEGE SCIENCE EDUCAT Students whose learning styles are compatible with the teaching style of a course One way is to put most of the material usually written on the board in http://www.ncsu.edu/felder-public/Papers/Secondtier.html

Felder, Richard, "Reaching the Second Tier: Learning and Teaching Styles in College Science Education." J. College Science Teaching, 23 REACHING THE SECOND TIER LEARNING AND TEACHING STYLES IN COLLEGE SCIENCE EDUCATION Richard M. Felder Department of Chemical Engineering North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC 27695-7905 In her recent study of college science instruction, Sheila Tobias [19] defines two tiers of entering college students, the first consisting of those who go on to earn science degrees and the second those who have the initial intention and the ability to do so but instead switch to nonscientific fields. The number of students in the second category might in fact be enough to prevent the shortfall of American scientists and engineers that has been widely forecast for the coming decade. The thrust of Tobias's study is that introductory science courses are responsible for driving off many students in the second tier. The negative features of the courses she cites include their (1) failure to motivate interest in science by establishing its relevance to the students' lives and personal interests; (2) relegation of students to almost complete passivity in the classroom; (3) emphasis on competition for grades rather than cooperative learning; and (4) focus on algorithmic problem-solving as opposed to conceptual understanding. Recent educational research provides theoretical support for Tobias's assertions, which are based largely on anecdotal accounts. The research shows that students are characterized by significantly different
