The statement of teaching philosophy should be about one page. Any classes not evaluated also should be noted in the table. If the SPOT form is not used, then the form used to acquire student perceptions must be included with the dossier and will not count as part of the 26 pages. Putting student perceptions into a context is frequently helpful. For example, a comparison with departmental averages for similar courses is highly recommended.
Student written comments often provide evidence of commitment to teaching.
These can be prepared from in-class evaluations or other sources, such as an evaluation form specific to a particular course or letters from students. A list of ALL comments from a class is more persuasive than selected comments. Clearly note if comments are inclusive or edited. Comments may be typed or photocopied. For large classes, a tabular form might be used to denote numbers of similar comments in lieu of listing all comments individually.
