Teaching Statement & Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Statement Consultations
We use evidenced-based strategies to coach others on writing teaching statements and DEI statements. Crafting these statements provides writers with opportunities to reflect on their current practices and center student learning in the process. We apply our pedagogical expertise and equip writers to vividly articulate their teaching identity and commitment to diversity in their disciplinary contexts. In our consultations, we review drafts and provide non-evaluative feedback and pose self-directed questions for improvement. We look forward to working with you.
