Articulating Your Practice for Academic and Professional Audiences

A teaching statement is not just for job applications, it's an opportunity to articulate what you believe about learning, why you teach the way you do, and what you want your students to walk away with. This workshop breaks down what makes a teaching statement effective and how to move beyond generic language to write something that genuinely reflects your practice. You'll leave with drafted pieces of your statement and a clearer sense of how to talk about your teaching in any high-stakes professional context.

Transferable skills:

Written communication & professional narrative

Translating practice into persuasive argument

Audience awareness & rhetorical framing
