Please join the staff of the Teaching and Learning Center for upcoming workshops and office hour availability for Graduate Center students who are planning or preparing statements of teaching philosophy for the job market.

On Tuesday, September 12, from 6:30-8:30pm in Room 9207 at the Graduate Center TLC staff will lead a discussion about what makes a strong statement of teaching philosophy and how to frame what’s distinct about the CUNY experience within the context of this document.

TLC staff are also happy to read and respond to drafts, and to share our feedback during an in-person meeting. If you would like TLC staff to review your statement, please email a full draft of your statement to tlc@gc.cuny.edu with the subject line “Statement of Teaching Philosophy Draft,” along with three 30 minutes blocks of time at least one week later when you will be available to meet with a staff member.
