Teaching Portfolio Workshop: Building Your Academic Profile

As part of the Arqus Teaching Innovation initiative, the University of Graz invites teaching staff from all Arqus partner universities to take part in the online workshop “Introduction to the Teaching Portfolio”, taking place on Wednesday, 9 July 2025, 09:00–12:00 (CEST).

Led by Dr Lisa Scheer from the Competence Centre for University Teaching, this session offers a hands-on introduction to the teaching portfolio – a reflective document in which instructors present their teaching philosophy, methods, experiences, and future goals. Teaching portfolios are valuable tools for professional growth and play an increasingly important role in academic application processes.

The workshop will explore the structure, purpose, and benefits of teaching portfolios. Participants will also take part in writing and reflection exercises to begin or continue developing their own portfolios.

By the end of the session, participants will have a clear understanding of what a teaching portfolio can include and how it can support their development as educators. They will also be equipped with the tools and confidence to begin working independently on their own portfolio.

The workshop will take place online on Wednesday, 9 July 2025, from 09:00 to 12:00 (CEST). The meeting link will be provided by the University of Graz prior to the event. Registration is open until 4 July 2025. For more information and registration, click here.
