Participants in this Job Market series workshop will learn about why academic search committees request teaching materials such as the teaching philosophy statement and how search committees use these materials to assess candidates’ qualifications for teaching. Further\, this workshop will help participants navigate the genre of the teaching statement\, offering them the opportunity to begin to think about how they will frame their commitment to teaching\, and describe their teaching methods and goals to others in their academic fields. \nIf you have questions about this Job Market Workshop for Graduate Students and Postdocs\, please contact Denise Leonard. \n  \nRegistration URL:https://ctl.wustl.edu/event/writing-a-teaching-philosophy-statement-12/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:- Advanced Workshop (PDT),- Job Market (PDT) END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251204T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251204T133000 DTSTAMP:20260423T231022 CREATED:20250818T214104Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260206T170909Z UID:20061-1764849600-1764855000@ctl.wustl.edu SUMMARY:Introduction to Pedagogical Scholarship DESCRIPTION:So\, you’ve heard the terms scholarly teaching\, SoTL\, TAR\, and DBER but what do they mean? How are they related? In this workshop for graduate students and postdocs\, we will define various modes of pedagogical research and discuss similarities and differences between them. Participants will also learn about qualitative and quantitative approaches to pedagogical research as well as about strategies to become more involved in pedagogical scholarship in their classroom. \n  \nRegistration\nAdvance registration for this event has closed.

Traditional approaches to teaching in the college classroom can often be stilted and scripted. Yet\, in order to respond to our students’ needs and draw them into the learning process deeply we need to be present\, flexible\, and responsive as instructors. Improv is a great theatrical tool to improve public speaking and listening skills as well as helping one think quickly on their feet. Improv skills also helps our students to build strong collaboration skills and encourages them to take risks in the classroom. In this workshop\, we’ll explore how to incorporate improv principles into both our teaching and our students’ learning.

Are you interested in incorporating more structured team learning into your teaching? Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a collaborative learning approach where students prepare to engage with course content before class and then spend class time working through application-based problems in teams. In this workshop\, faculty participants will learn about the benefits of using the core TBL structure\, while experiencing what it is like to be a student in a TBL classroom. Participants will also have the opportunity to brainstorm ways to incorporate the tenets of TBL into their own teaching.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration\nAdvance registration for this event has closed.

The approach moves from desired outcomes to assignments and activities\, which makes it a powerful framework for centering the key learning you want to see in your class (as opposed to the material that needs to be “covered”). It can be applied to everything from an individual lesson to an entire course. In this workshop\, you’ll learn the basics of the model and then apply it to your own teaching. You’ll write clear learning outcomes\, then start drafting an assignment based on those goals\, and finally brainstorm some activities that allow your students to practice the skills you want them to master. Participants in this workshop will have the option to join a second workshop\, during which they’ll have extended time to develop teaching materials using the framework.\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration\nAdvance registration for this event has closed.
