Inside teaching

I teach who I am - but who am I? Anonymised personal philosophies of teaching from Flinders University staff.

What moves us, drives us, draws us on in our teaching? How can we communicate that which is so hard to say? When should we share, and who wants to know? Do we dare to bare ourselves so openly? Do you?  

In this ‘slow event’, staff at Flinders University came together to support each other to create a personal teaching philosophy in Mahara ePortfolio. Each person’s page was then anonymised and collated for public viewing.  

Browse the collection to see what they say, and to find out more about why we did it.
