| + | * teaching statement 需要两份 | ||
| + | * 一份给 teaching oriented SLAC | ||
| + | * 一份给 R1 | ||
| + | 这两份的区别在 degree 上。总的来说，招聘者希望你可以证明你的 teaching goal 与 他们学校的教学目标一致。那么： | ||
| + | * SLAC：强调你的教学方法会在小课上成功，并强调你的研究在 undergraduate 学生中的作用 | ||
| + | * R1: describing your success in using innovative methods and technologies to **teach lecture courses of hundreds of students** | ||
| + | ==You Are Excessively Humble, Especially If You Are Female== | ||
| + | 反例： | ||
| + | >“I was honored to have the opportunity to be entrusted with the core seminar in X,” | ||
| + | >“I was fortunate to be selected for the award in X,” | ||
| + | >“I hope that my methods will encourage students to…,” | ||
| + | >“I am always striving to improve my skills and seek training in new methods” | ||
| + | ==You Are Excessively Emotional, Especially If You Are Female== | ||
| + | 反例： | ||

| + | >“I would be thrilled to teach your course in X,” | ||
| + | >“I am so excited to use new materials, | ||
| + | >“It would be a great pleasure to create new courses, | ||

| + | Those who are competitive in the tenure track market articulate** a teaching persona that is consistent with their researcher persona**: serious, rigorous, disciplinarily cutting-edge, | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | ==you Fail to Link Your Research and Teaching into a Single Consistent Whole== | ||
| + | <WRAP center round box 100%> | ||
| + | The teaching statement is meant to demonstrate that **you are as self-directed, | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | * 强调的是 persona 的一致性 | ||
| + | * 应该展现你的研究成果如何应用到你的课堂的（应用） | ||
| + | * （比如你研究后末世幻想，那么展现一下你的学生是如何解构行尸走肉的） | ||
| + | ==You Don’t Have a Conclusion== | ||
| + | * All professional documents should conclude with a broad gesture toward the wider import of your work. | ||

| + | </ | ||
| + | 这一段显得毫无意义。因为： | ||
| + | * 陈述了显而易见的内容 | ||
| + | * 没有提供有意义的内容 | ||
| + | * 也没有提供令人难忘的内容 | ||
| + | |||
| + | >When students know their teachers care about them, they are more **attentive** to and more **enthusiastic** about their studies. Each quarter, I i//nvest time// and //effort// into building// long-lasting relationships// | ||
| + | 这一段的问题： | ||
| + | * 完全是 emonton-talk | ||
| + | * 充斥着 caring, striving, nurturing（关心，努力，培育）等词汇 | ||
| + | * “I” 被滥用了 | ||
| + | * I make myself available to students 这一点用了 九句话来描述 | ||
| + | 这一段传达给committee 的信号是，该候选人并没有 TT 级别的写作能力。\\ \\ | ||
| + | > | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | * 这一段有一些实质性的教学方法，但描述这些方法时过多的使用了情感性词汇，列表（list）和形容词。 | ||
| + | * 有一个词汇 " | ||
| + | * 几乎没有可以将其教学的方法与其学科关联起来的内容（X 就出现了几次） | ||
| + | >As an educator, I have a **unique** opportunity to help my students become better citizens who //care more// about the world around them. To make the most of this opportunity, | ||
| + | * 这一段使用了独特*（unique）这个最陈词滥调的词（emotional +1） | ||
| + | * 提到改进学习方法是可以接受的，但不要超过一句话 | ||
| + | * 作者提到了过多的细节，然后重点又回到了 emontional | ||
| + | * 这段内容暗示她所有的教学都要通过干预才能变得有效 | ||
| + | ====Evidence of Teaching Effectiveness==== | ||
| + | 这部分内容包括： | ||
| + | * 之前基本的 teaching statement | ||
| + | * sample syllabi | ||
| + | * proposed course descriptions | ||
| + | * a list of course | ||
| + | * evaluations or a summary of evaluations | ||
| + | * complete evaluations(both numerial and narrtive) for one or two courses | ||
| + | ===sample syllabi=== | ||
| + | ====The Research Statement==== | ||
| + | * 通常两页 | ||
| + | * 11 or 12 points type, one-inch margins | ||
| + | * 不要 letterhead | ||
| + | * 在正上方写上你的名字和 " | ||
| + | * resarch statement 通常不会提及工作，不要过于明显的为了工作二丁酯 research statement | ||
| + | * 不要 refer 到任何其他 job documents(e.g. As you can see from my CV, I have published extensively…) | ||
| + | * 避免夸大（e.g.“This research is of critical importance to… ） | ||
| + | * Don’t go negative. Stay in the realm of what you did, not what others didn’t. | ||
| + | * 尽量不要引用别的学者。这是你的研究。如果是合作，不要提合作者的名字，而是说“I have a coauthored essay in the Journal of X.”” | ||
| + | * 阐述你的研究的核心论点（In this dissertation, | ||
| + | * 你可以使用 (“In contrast to other scholars who have interpreted X as Y, in my dissertation I find that X is better understood as Z.”) | ||
| + | * 阐述你从过去到现在的发表经历，从你已经发表 paper 的到你还在准备的发表的 paper。 | ||
| + | * 提出第二个主项目（要与第一个项目不同；主要是为了防止别人认为你只会一样东西） | ||
| + | * 尽量使用主动语态；但不要滥用 “I” | ||
| + | ===research statement structure=== | ||
| + | * **PARA 1**: 简单的概述你的研究的 theme 和 topic, 将其定位于你的领域内 | ||
| + | * **PARA 2**：你的 dissertation 的 summary | ||
| + | * 这部分可能会重复 dissertation / cover letter 中的内容，但必须要包含： | ||
| + | * 更多研究方法上的细节（more detail about the methodss） | ||
| + | * 跟多理论的基础（the theoretical foundations） | ||
| + | * 核心论点（cor arguments） | ||
| + | * 人文/ | ||
| + | * 每个 chapter 一到两句 | ||
| + | * 科学领域应该反映假设 / 方法 和范围 | ||
| + | * **PARA 3**：简单的描述一下你的 dissertation 研究对领域的贡献 | ||
| + | * **PARA 4** 有关于你 dissertation 的所有 publication 的 sunmmery | ||
| + | * 包含 a plan for the book(if in a book field) | ||
| + | * 可以在本段中使用更多的段落描写你正在进行的其他研究（other on going resarch） | ||
| + | * **PARA 5**下一个研究项目的 summary，包括： | ||
| + | * topic | ||
| + | * methods | ||
| + | * a theoretical orientation | ||
| + | * a brief statement of contribution to your fields | ||
| + | * Mention publications, | ||
| + | * **PARA 6**: A conclusion that briefly summarizes the wider impact of your research agenda(s) writ large | ||
| + | * what do they tell us that is valuable and important, both for your discipline but also for a wider scholarly community, and, in some cases, for humanity in general. | ||
| + | ===注意事项=== | ||
| + | ==focus on the research itself== | ||
| + | 专注于研究本身，而不是你如何完成它的叙述。\\ \\ | ||
| + | 反例（描述自己而不是研究： | ||
| + | >I work on transitions in the care of the elderly in Japan. I am particularly focused on the recent growth in government-run care facilities. I use ethnographic methods to address the nature of the care given in these facilities, and I explore how the care is received by the patients and their families. I believe such an approach is essential in a context of Japan’s aging society. My dissertation explores one such facility in northern Japan. | ||
| + | 正例）： | ||
| + | >The rapidly aging society is one of the primary challenges facing Japan in recent decades. Both the public and private sectors have hastened to respond to emerging needs of the elderly and their families. More than two hundred new government-run elderly care centers have been built in recent years. In my dissertation, | ||
| + | ==小心使用 “I” == | ||
| + | 大多数情况下，" | ||
| + | ==research is not research of interest== | ||
| + | * 不要使用 interest。Interest-talk is one of the <wrap em> | ||
| + | * 这是一个自我（self-involved）的表现，表明你可能不是个好同事。 | ||
| + | department 期待你做的事是 labor，是 outcome based。也就是说你要么拿出符合他们想要的东西，要么你就拿不出。因此，好的 job docments 可以证明这一点，而 糟糕的 document 只能体现你的自恋，描述你的私人兴趣，困扰，痴迷--这些都会通过你的 interest 来表现。 | ||
| + | 反例如下： | ||
| + | >I have long been interested in the relationship between gender and transnational mobility in Japan. This led to my interest in Japanese women as transnational agents. My dissertation addressed this issue, and one fascinating conclusion of the research was that women’s investment in transnational identities was not static but evolved over the life course. These interests led to an article I published in the Journal of X, which explored this subject further. | ||
| + | <WRAP center round box 100%> | ||
| + | 注意上文的 fascinating， 另外一个罪魁祸首 | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | 改写如下: | ||
| + | >My dissertation addresses the relationship between gender and mobility in Japan, specifically focusing on Japanese women as transnational agents. Based on fieldwork in Japan using X and Y methods, the dissertation concluded that women’s investment in transnational identities was not static but evolved over the life course. I published part of this research in an article in the Journal of X; in this article I argue Q. I have another article on Y underway for submission this spring. | ||
| + | 除了上述的内容，以下的词也不应该出现在所有你的学术写作中： | ||
| + | * attempt | ||
| + | * try | ||
| + | * endeavor | ||
| + | * hope | ||
| + | * 类似以上的词 | ||
| + | 反例： | ||
| + | >“In this research I hope to prove that…” | ||
| + | > | ||
| + | >“I believe that in making this argument I may be able to | ||
| + | > | ||
| + | |||
| + | <WRAP center round important 100%> | ||
| + | **Do. Or do not. There is not a try.** | ||
| + | try. | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | <WRAP center round tip 100%> | ||
| + | In their place, write: | ||
| + | * “In this research I prove that…” | ||
| + | * “Through such an analysis I show that…” | ||
| + | * “In making this argument I demonstrate that…” | ||
| + | And may the Force be with you | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | ====What Is a Diversity Statement, Anyway? | ||
| + | ==原因和目的== | ||
| + | 作为候选人，你需要知道： | ||
| + | * 由于历史和经济的原因，某些群体属于劣势群体 | ||
| + | * 这些劣势群体在追求高等教育的路上遇到了非常多的阻碍 | ||
| + | * 即便获得了教育机会，这部分群体也经常在知识传授的过程中被边缘化 | ||
| + | 因此： | ||
| + | * diversity statement 需要展示你已经意识到了你需要改善这类问题 | ||
| + | * 而且你会将改善此类群体的意识付诸于实践。 | ||
| + | * 实践的领域包括你的研究，教学，服务以及其他具体的方式。 | ||
| + | ===怎么写=== | ||
| + | ==基础的方法== | ||
| + | * 描述你如何处理处于不同diverse range 的学生 | ||
| + | * 描述你的方法和教学材料融入了多元化的内容 | ||
| + | ==进阶== | ||
| + | * 展示你的个人背景和经验是如何影响你对待学科，研究和学生的： | ||
| + | * 比如你如何支持学生/ | ||
| + | * 比如考虑你的研究是如何处理 diversty 的 | ||
| + | * 考虑如何使学生做好在多元化社会中就业的准备 | ||
