Hi all!

This event will take place on Wednesday, May 10th, from 12PM-1PM on WebEx! The Faculty Development Center is hosting an event! Please visit the original post here in order to register and receive the WebEx link.

You’ve written papers, proposals, abstracts, and presentations that describe your research plans and accomplishments—but what about your teaching? Throughout your career, you may be asked to write about or discuss your goals and accomplishments for your teaching. How do you craft a narrative about your effectiveness as a teacher? In this session, FDC staff will share ideas for writing compellingly about your teaching, including what kinds of evidence best supports your claims. Please note that this workshop is not offered every year, so we encourage anyone who plans to write about their teaching in the next several years to join us.

In preparation for our discussion, please review the following chapters from Critical Teaching Behaviors: Defining, Documenting, and Discussing Good Teaching by Lauren Barbeau and Claudia Cornejo Happel (Stylus Publishing, 2023):
  • “Introduction”  (pp. 1-8), and
  • “Creating a Narrative of Teaching Effectiveness” (Chapter 10, pp. 141-148).
Participants may access the ebook online at any time through the AOK library in advance of the session using the following step-by-step instructions:
  1. Log into myUMBC
  2. Go to the AOK Library Website
  3. In the AOK OneSearch box, type the book title (not the chapter title) and press Search
