  1. The Teaching Center Teaching Portfolio(Dossier) John T. Benjamin MD The UNC Teaching Center UNC Department of Pediatrics Katherine Savage, MA UNC Office of Educational Development

  2. Objectives of Session The Teaching Center • Describe the uses of a Teaching Portfolio • Describe in detail the 3 elements of TP • Get you started on creating your own TP • Focus today: Reflective Statement

  3. Reasons to Create a Teaching Portfolio The Teaching Center • Faculty can demonstrate commitment to teaching, teaching style and achievements in medical education. Good method of documentation. • Also can allow faculty member to express underlying teaching philosophy. • If using teaching as area of excellence, way to document that for promotion. • It can cause the teacher to reassess teaching methods. OED UNC

  4. Another Way of Stating: The Teaching Center “Teaching portfolios give expression to the scholarship of teaching” OED UNC

  5. UNC SOM may not require TP The Teaching Center • Some departments still require TP – no matter what “area of excellence” being claimed. • SOM policy: requires TP only for those basing promotion on educational scholarship.

  6. Two Types of Teaching Portfolios The Teaching Center • Working (much more complete) – used to develop and improve practice. • Summative – what you hand in for promotion and tenure decisions. Limit total number of pages to < 20 and can take up to 15 hours to create. OED- UNC

  7. 3 Elements of Teaching Portfolio The Teaching Center 1. Reflective Statement (particularly teaching philosophy). 2. Documentation of Teaching Activities 3. Evaluation of Teaching (collected annually) • A. Peers • B. Learners OED UNC

  8. 1. Reflective Statement: Goals The Teaching Center • Orients and is well-organized • Makes an argument for excellence – even at national level • Annotates Evidence Presented • Describes roles and responsibilities, students, approach to teaching, philosophy of teaching, goals, plans for improvement OED UNC

  9. 1. Reflective Statement: specifics The Teaching Center • 1-3 page statement to include: • Teaching Philosophy and Style • Goals • Teaching roles and responsibilities • Self-Assessment of Success • Areas of needed improvement • Plans for improvement OED UNC

  11. 2. Teaching Activities The Teaching Center • Chronological list of courses taught (by year): includes brief description of content, amount of time spent, # students taught • Nothing listed here should be listed in CV also

  15. 3. Evaluations The Teaching Center A. Either forms with comments based on direct observations and/or 3-4 letters from colleagues B. Learner Evaluations: scored ratings on various components of teaching: provide a comparison to other faculty. These should be summarized data.

  16. 3. Evaluations The Teaching Center • Include summary of: • Peer Assessments: • Qualitative ratings • Letters from colleagues • Student assessments • Ratings of various aspects of teaching • Summarize ratings and narrative comments • Systematic self-assessments if done OED-UNC

  17. Exercise #3 (if time) The Teaching Center • Review OED forms: • Focus today: Learner and self-assessment; also available Peer forms. • Determine how you are going to collate this information, given the UNC system.

  18. Positive Results of Teaching The Teaching Center • What has happened to your students? Have they been successful? • What has happened to those you mentored? • List Honors received in this section • Other evidence: invitations to speak on the subject OED-UNC
