Faculty Workshop: Teaching Portfolios, October 19, 2018
by Jean Kelly 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Faculty Workshop: Teaching Portfolios, October 19, 2018 When: Friday, October 19, 10am-1pm Where: Rosenthal Library 227 Faculty Portfolios provide evidence of teaching from a variety of sources and allow for reflection on, and improvement of, one’s teaching over time. Creating a public, professional view of one’s teaching as a scholarly activity can be useful for job applications, promotions and tenure review as well as one’s own pedagogical research. The Queens College Center for Teaching & Learning will be conducting a workshop on creating an online Faculty Portfolio. This two-day hybrid workshop will include online asynchronous “preworkshop” activities followed by a face-face working session. Preworkshop Activities Participants will be provided with materials and guidelines on curating content for a teaching portfolio, and crafting an effective teaching statement. Participants will create a draft of a teaching statement, which they can revise with the help of the Center for Teaching & Learning. On Thursday, October 18th, there will be drop-in “Open Office Hours” with the Center for Teaching & Learning between 3-6pm, which you can use to fine-tune your teaching statement, and select which material will best represent you as a faculty member. Face-to-Face Workshop (RO 227), 10:00am-1:00pm On Friday, October 19th we will utilize the materials developed during the “preworkshop” phase in a hands-on technical workshop where participants will set up a portfolio website and begin populating it with content. At the end of the workshop you can expect to: - Understand what elements constitute a professional portfolio - Create a strong draft of your teaching statement - Walk away with the architecture for a website to house your portfolio and an understanding of how to get your content into it If you are interested, please use the registration link below. Breakfast will be served. Registration: https://tinyurl.com/TeachingPortfoliosOct19 http://ctl.qc.cuny.edu/faculty-workshop-teaching-portfolios-october-19-2018/

Assistance with Fulbright Applications
by Moira E Egan 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Dear All, I hope everyone has had an enjoyable and productive summer and a good start to the new semester. I have the pleasure of working with our students and alumni/ae on Fulbright applications at this time of the year, and would appreciate your assistance. Each student who applies through a college must have a campus evaluation as part of his/her application. Since Fulbright does not interview candidates, campuses are asked to provide the evaluation based on a committee interview with each applicant. I am looking for additional committee members to evaluate applications to teach English in Taiwan, Spain and Korea. If you are interested, I can provide more details individually, but generally, the commitment involves reading the application materials, which consist of biographical information, transcripts, recommendations and two one-page essays, and joining us for a one-hour meeting for each student. We hope to conduct all interviews between September 17th and 28th, so that students can make final revisions by Fulbright's October 9th deadline. If you are available to help with this, please let me know which country you are interested in and some days and times that would work well for you to meet. Thanks very much for your assistance in helping our students take advantage of the wonderful opportunities Fulbright provides. Best, Moira ~ Moira E. Egan, Ph.D. National Fellowships Advisor Office of Honors and Scholarships Rm. 23 Honors Hall Queens College, CUNY (718) 997-2863
