Teaching Portfolio Guidelines

Documenting one’s teaching is an important aspect of developing a culture which accords teaching equal status with research. While academia has well recognised processes for recognising quality research, it is far more difficult to find broadly acceptable ways of documenting and celebrating good teaching. The articles below, from the October 2009 issue of TDU Talk, highlight the portfolio for documenting one’s process as a teacher and also indicate the range of sources that we can draw on to get feedback about one’s teaching.
