Teacher as Professional
Facilitated by Soo La Kim, CTE
The conventional purpose of a curriculum vita (loosely translated from Latin as "the course of one's life/career") is to provide a concise overview of your professional background and accomplishments. Although a CV resembles a resume in many ways, it has features that are distinctive to its academic context, such as details about teaching experience, research or creative work, and academic service. There is no single template or formula for the CV and the college does not require a single format. In this interactive workshop, we will discuss the particular conventions of the CV and how to design a document that best reflects your experiences and accomplishments. Please bring copies of your CV to share.
Please see our Fall 2009 schedule for information.
Spaces are limited; please RSVP at cte@colum.edu.

The statement of teaching philosophy should both articulate your core beliefs and values as a teacher and provide specific examples of how you put those beliefs into practice. This statement is the core document of a teaching portfolio, but it can also serve as a critical part of a job application or tenure dossier. Perhaps more importantly, it can help you clarify for yourself what is most important to you as a teacher. This workshop will introduce you to the main purpose and features of a statement of teaching philosophy and get you started on drafting your own.
Co-sponsored with CCFO, these informational workshops for tenure-track faculty will address questions about the tenure process, the new tenure guidelines, research opportunities, and much more.

Exchanging class visits with a colleague is an invaluable way to reflect on and share ideas about teaching. This faculty development program will focus on making peer observations productive and non-threatening occasions for pedagogical conversations, and will provide resources and strategies for making the most of a classroom visit. You will be part of a three-person group, visiting two other instructurs, as those instructors also visit your classes.
Session I: Setting Goals
Friday, September 25, 1-3 p.m.
Session II: Discussing the First Round of Visits
Friday, October 30, 1-3 p.m.
Session III: Discussing the Second Round of Visits & Wrap-up
Friday, December 11, 1-3 p.m.
You must commit to the three full-group meetings and two sets of full-class visits to your colleagues. The peer observation feedback you receive will belong to you alone, to use at your discretion.
