Examples
Worked examples
- Is an instance
A two-page teaching statement describing the candidate's approach to active learning with examples from three courses they have led
Counter-examples
Looks similar, but isn't
- Not an instance
A list of courses taught with student numbers is not a teaching statement in the pedagogical-narrative sense
Editorial commentary
Distinct from a CV teaching list by being a coherent statement of pedagogical practice. Increasingly required to include attention to inclusive pedagogy and to evidence of student outcomes. Some institutions also require a separate ‘teaching diversity statement’.
