A teaching portfolio usually consists of three main parts:

• A teaching CV: a systematic and chronologically organized resume of the educational roles you have had. See template for a suggested structure.
• A short teaching philosophy statement/reflective essay: This is a text where you describe and reflect on your teaching experiences, the achieved results of your teaching, other educational work experiences you have had and how you work to develop your teaching and supervision. Your reflections should link your experiences with research based knowledge about teaching and learning in higher education. It might also include topics such as reflections on your educational role(s), what characterizes learning and quality teaching in your specific subject and context, rationale behind the methods and strategies you use, strengths and areas for improvement etc. The essay should be approximately two pages long.
• Appendixes/documentation: For example course certificates or diplomas, documentation of attendance (and program) from seminars and conferences you have been to, conference papers or scientific articles, project reports, evaluation reports, recommendations, awards etc. Make sure all these forms of documentation is related to teaching and learning in higher education.
  
  A teaching portfolio can be developed as a collection of regular word or pdf files or you can create a digital portfolio. MittUiB (Canvas) has a function under “account” where you can create an e portfolio.
