Since the Spring semester of 2005, the Graduate School has sponsored the Teaching Portfolio Program. The purpose of the program is to encourage graduate students to document their teaching experiences at UGA in order to reflect upon and improve their teaching and to be prepared to present their teaching accomplishments on the job market. Many graduate students have found that preparing a teaching portfolio well before they begin their academic job searches has greatly helped them during the application process. Some credit a teaching portfolio for helping them get their jobs!
Every semester, the Graduate School considers teaching portfolios for certification. Participants in the portfolio program not only get Graduate School recognition for their portfolios but also receive feedback from faculty members on their individual portfolios. Additionally, the teaching portfolio is the cornerstone for the Graduate School’s Interdisciplinary Certificate in University Teaching. For more information on the teaching certificate, visit the Graduate School’s website at:

For Fall 2009, the Graduate School’s deadline for the teaching portfolio program is October 16. To help graduate students prepare their portfolios, the Center for Teaching and Learning is offering a series of three workshops leading up to the deadline. Workshops will be held at the conference room of the Center for Teaching and Learning, which is located on the north side of the instructional plaza between Psychology and Journalism buildings. The workshops will be held on the following days:

September 16--2:30-4:30
September 21--2:30-4:30
October 5--2:30-4:30
