Teaching Philosophy Statement

The teaching philosophy statement is where nominees can express their teaching and educational leadership beliefs, why they hold these beliefs, and how they put them into practice. The statement is an important opportunity for the adjudicators to hear the nominee’s own voice. Philosophy statements should be written in first-person and genuinely reflect nominees' beliefs. Claims made in the philosophy statement should be substantiated in other parts of the dossier and aligned with evidence throughout.
