CUT Culminating Project: Teaching Portfolio

A teaching portfolio can set a candidate apart. In this culminating project, CTL staff will review your professional materials and work with participants on high-caliber, professional presentations of their work. The portfolio should be submitted to the CTL no later than the mid-semester point of the semester in which you want to complete the CUT program. You will receive feedback in one to two weeks after submission.

Contents include:

• A two-page introduction and reflection on how CUT has informed your teaching
• Your philosophy of teaching statement
• Professional Curriculum Vitae (CV)
• Your syllabi and handouts, active learning activities, writing or homework assignments, and rubrics
• Relevant artifacts such as summaries, midterm feedback, and final course evaluation, letters from
  students, or graded papers
• Your Teaching Resources Collection
• Other evidence of professional development, e.g., programs from CUT, CTL, or Graduate Student Conference, certificates of attendance, honors, and awards

You do not need to register for the portfolio project. After completing all other units, connect with Ana Quiring (ana.quiring@umsl.edu) for details about compiling and submitting your portfolio to complete your certificate.
