A teaching portfolio, much like an artist’s portfolio, is a way to describe and display your teaching philosophy, work products, and achievements. It serves as a means to reflect on your teaching, communicate your goals, and document your work and achievements.
A teaching portfolio can include several different pieces of information (or sections). For your portfolio, you will include three components:
- Statement of your teaching philosophy
- Documentation and reflection on your teaching activities
- Documentation of teaching effectiveness

On this page, you will want to delete the instructional language above, replacing it with some introductory information. Indicate the purpose of your portfolio; explain what a UTA is and why you have chosen this experience. What are your career goals? Describe briefly why these are your goals and your plan for achieving them.
This is the first page your audience will see when entering your portfolio, so imagine you are providing context for the material contained within it for an audience unfamiliar with the program.
Be sure to replace the header image through the Customize options to match your own preferences.
