Course Overview
NOTE: All registrants must first contact poly@bcit.ca In this course, participants will examine their developing professional identity as “teacher". The course provides opportunities to reflect on personal values and beliefs about teaching and learning, and how these influence teaching practice. Participants will uncover their personal teaching perspectives through the Teaching Perspectives Inventory (TPI) and reflect on the connections between teaching beliefs, intentions, and actions. Participants will have opportunities to engage in reflection, discuss teaching goals, methods, and philosophy, write a teaching statement and develop a reflective teaching portfolio, intended to foster reflection on their professional growth. Participants will document, and reflect on, their professional development through the BCIT Teaching Credential through the development of a Teaching Portfolio. The Teaching Portfolio will include a summary of teaching roles and responsibilities, a teaching statement including a brief discussion of teaching goals, methods, and strategies, and finally evidence of effective teaching through the presentation of artefacts collected through the BCIT teaching credential.
