Do
you have a passion for teaching? Are you designing engaging and effective
learning experiences for your students? Are you seeking ways to demonstrate
your teaching excellence that go beyond student evaluations of teaching?
Sharing your great teaching activities and methods can benefit your colleagues
and students, and the wider teaching community in your discipline. By sharing
your teaching idea, you can (1) feedback for your work, improving your teaching
in the process; (2) receive recognition
for work, supporting your career goals; (3) enhance your professional
development and reputation, leading to opportunities; (4) contribute to the
scholarship of teaching and learning in your discipline and more broadly; and
(5) support other instructors who are looking for new and effective ways of
teaching. In this address, I will review the range of places your teaching
ideas may be shared depending on your institutional context and career goals.
You should walk away with a plan for how you can be strategic about sharing
your teaching materials so that you and your students benefit.
