The recent change in job titles for teaching faculty has led to new questions that the upcoming session Teaching Faculty: Collecting Materials for Promotion hopes to answer.

This session is designed for assistant/associate professors of teaching who want to learn more about what to include in their materials when applying for promotion. We will discuss how to approach your personal statement and how to collect materials and prepare your teaching portfolio. Attendees will have time to collaborate and generate ideas.

A panel of faculty will be available for discussion and open Q&A about this new process at Wayne State. The panelists for this session include Kevin Deegan-Krause (Professor, Political Science), Sean Hickey (Assistant Professor - Teaching, Chemistry), Linda Jimenez (Associate Professor - Teaching, Learning Design & Technology), Christine Knapp (Assistant Professor - Teaching, Classical and Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures), and Karen Myhr (Associate Professor - Teaching), Biological Sciences).

What: Panel discussion and teaching portfolio tips

When: noon – 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 17

Where: Teaching Commons, Purdy/Kresge Library (Room 150) OR virtual via Zoom (hyflex)
