WHY CREATE A TEACHING PORTFOLIO ?

Begin as early as possible. Even before you set foot in the classroom as a

Teaching Assistant or instructor, you should begin thinking about the ideas and objectives that will guide you when you do so. Reading articles and attending workshops on teaching will help you identify current issues and potential approaches. As you build your teaching experience, you should also be developing your portfolio, which you can then update, refine, and improve when you are entering the academic job market.

May be requested to provide “teaching materials” or “evidence of teaching effectiveness” at some point in career. Sending Teaching portfolio is very effective

WHEN SHOULD YOU BEGIN CREATING PORTFOLIO?

Teaching is a vital contribution for each regular faculty member, regardless of their track designation

The sharing of knowledge that is accurate, balanced, current and stimulating is expected from each faculty member.

The most important role of the teacher is to motivate and inspire learners.

MUSC APT TEACHING GUIDELINES

Continuing pursuit of knowledge is a life-long habit for scholars.Clinical scholars, who have mastered a discipline related to

patient care, teach in the ambulatory clinics and offices, at the bedside, in the emergency room, the operating and diagnostic procedure rooms.

Mastery of their discipline allows clinical research-oriented scholars to formulate, test and report new ideas, apply new basic information to patient care, question clinical dogmas and evaluate the complexities of cause/effect relationships in the management of diseases

scholars teach medical students, residents, and peers.
