The teaching philosophy of a candidate for an academic position, sometimes referred to as a teaching philosophy statement, is a written statement of the candidate's general personal views on teaching. Colleges and universities that advertise a position whose duties require teaching often require the applicant to submit a teaching philosophy with the application.
Teaching philosophy statements are becoming increasingly required in the attainment of teaching positions.[1] Teaching philosophy statement often attempts to express what methods of teaching the candidate practices and what educational styles they intend to make use of.[1] They are generally reviewed and updated as educators gain more experience to reflect their current views and beliefs.[2]
