Join us for a presentation on developing a compelling teaching statement for the academic job market. We will explore the purpose, structure, and key components of an effective teaching statement, including articulating your beliefs and values, instructional goals, inclusive teaching practices, and assessment strategies. Participants will also learn how to tailor their teaching statement to different institutional contexts, align them with job postings, and communicate their teaching identity with clarity and intention. This is the fifth event in our eight-part series “The Joyful Journey: Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Scholar Professional Development Series.”

About CIRTL Programming

CIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners. Participants can explore our programming in any order, and to whatever extent supports your own teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across all our programming, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals; within those goals, programming might provide participants with an introductory, intermediate, or advanced learning experience.

This course supports the following CIRTL learning goals at an introductory level:

• Goal 4: Prepare for an impactful career. See more Goal 4 programming.
