EFFECTIVE TEACHING PORTFOLIOS. Wednesday, Sept. 12, 3:30-5:00 pm. Hamilton 565.
If you don’t already have a teaching portfolio in development, you very likely should. In recent years, the teaching portfolio has become an important document for many professional historians—and a crucial component of most job applications. The teaching portfolio allows you to showcase your experience, strengths, and interest. And it allows you to do so in some depth—and to back up your self-representations with actual evidence. This is a terrific opportunity, particularly for those of you who have accumulated a lot of teaching experience here at Carolina and elsewhere. We’ll consider the basic components of a conventional teaching portfolio and discuss some basic strategies for presenting your track record effectively. Even if you are a year or two from the job market, beginning a teaching portfolio now can be very useful. Ideally, everyone should bring a draft teaching statement, but come with whatever you have.
