Inspiration needed: What is your/my/a librarian teaching philosophy? #libteachthis

I’ve hit a wall in writing my teaching philosophy for tenure. Granted this is the first draft, and granted I’m a notorious procrastinator who hasn’t gotten in desperation mode yet (I love it when that kicks in. Better than coffee). But I can feel myself losing steam.

So, let’s crowd source this bad boy. What is your librarian teaching philosophy? Let’s use Twitter: teaching philosophy in 140 characters! Use the tag #libteachthis

If you want to give more in-depth feedback, feel free to comment on this post. I promise my UNCG colleagues that I won’t crib my teaching philosophy. I just need my librarian peeps to do what they do best, inspire!

If you want to see the draft of my teaching philosophy, I will be editing it throughout the next few days. Please feel free to comment, criticize (politely), or give whoops of joy. Please. Seriously. I need help.

I will submit my preliminary portfolio for tenure next week and as part of this process we are asked to give a short presentation to our library faculty. I gave mine today. It was more nerve-wracking to present in front of peers than to teach 40 students. Funny how that is.

The process is going smoothly overall. I have finished gathering most of my documentation. My external reviewers didn’t run away screaming, apparently. I think I see the beginnings of a decent teaching philosophy. (I’m thinking of posting it here to see if I can get some crowd-sourced editing. Sound like a good time? Stay tuned.)

Below are my slides. Hopefully they and I got the point across … Keep me!
