Abstract: The use of a teaching portfolio to document one's teaching performance has been prominent in the literature for over ten years.However, recent searches for faculty in engineering technology and mathematics positions have revealed among candidates a minimal awareness of avenues for presenting evidence of teaching excellence.Resistors to the practice of teaching documentation argue that compiling (and reading) teaching portfolio material is too time-consuming.Yet without additional evidence of teaching performance, department chairs, promotion and tenure committees, and hiring committees are forced to draw conclusions of job performance based on little more than student opinions, hearsay, and hallway impressions.This paper revisits various types of teaching documentation for a teaching portfolio, vita, or promotion and tenure document.Examples are provided.Classroom outcomes assessment is discussed as a source of teaching documentation.
