Faculty seeking to advance their academic careers with an emphasis on education will need to effectively document their educational contributions in an educational portfolio. In contrast to the traditional academic curriculum vitae (CV), the educational portfolio aims to document teaching activities, including administrative roles in education, teaching responsibilities, advising and mentoring, awards and recognition as educators, and the products of these activities. By developing an educational portfolio, faculty 

have the opportunity to reflect on their evidence of excellence and engagement within the educational community consistent with the precepts of scholarship. 

This four-part workshop series will focus on the rationale and benefits of the educational portfolio, its relationship to an academic CV, the types of educational activities to be 

included in the educational portfolio, and how to begin developing an educational portfolio and philosophy Statement. 

At the end of the session, participants should be able to: 

1. Define the educational portfolio. 

2. Discuss what qualifies as contributions to teaching. 

3. Share examples of direct teaching activities, curriculum design, curriculum development, and instructional materials that can be included in a portfolio. 

4. Define teaching service and teaching scholarship. 

5. Develop an educational philosophy statement through reflection of one’s educational work.
