We offer one-on-one consultations for all academic job market documents related to teaching, including teaching statements among others, for graduate students and postdocs preparing for their future teaching careers. We use evidenced-based strategies to coach others on writing job market materials. 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 building a welcoming environment for students 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.

Schedule a Consultation
Schedule an appointment with one of our consultants here. Graduate students should try to book appointments with Alexander first.
