Teaching Statement
This is where you will give a potential employer a glimpse into what you would be like
as a teacher in their school. The teaching statement should reflect your teaching style,
philosophy, and personality. You should use first-person point of view (I, we) in the
teaching statement. You need to answer three specific questions:
What are some goals you have for yourself and your students?
How will you create an inclusive learning environment for all students?
What, for you, constitutes evidence of student learning?
Each question should be answered in paragraph form with a minimum of one paragraph
for each question (at least 5 sentences in each paragraph). Do not include outside sources
or citations in the teaching statement.
4. Teaching Tools
In this section, you need to prove to a potential employer that you are proficient in
technology that could be used to enhance instruction in the classroom. You need to
provide a minimum of 3 different technology integration tools that could help reach the
needs of all learners. These tools could be educational websites, educational apps, digital
tools such as Class Dojo, educational displays/resources in the classroom such as a Smart
Board, etc. For each example of technology that you choose to include in your Portfolio
Assignment, you need to include:
A picture of the technology example. This can be a screenshot of the website, app, oreven the tool being used in the classroom. Students faces should not be included in
these pictures if you choose to take a picture in your own classroom.
