Application

To have their qualifications assessed, teachers applying for ETP should subit the following (in pdf format, see application address on the prevoius page):

• Teaching portfolio
• CV with a special section for educational activities
• Verification that that the applicant has had discussions with two critical friends

In addition, the head of department should send a statement/recommendation (see below).

Teaching portfolio

The teaching portfolio consists of a personal document in which the applicant presents his or her teaching and learning philosophy (reflektions on teaching and student learning) together with integrated examples from his or her own teaching practice. If possible, structure the portfolio like this:

• Cover sheet with title, name, date, and number of words
• Table of contents
• Preferably, use font Calibri 11 pt. or Times New Roman 12 pt.
• Spacing 1,5 increases the readbility
• Include page numbers
• Maximum number of words is 8,000 words (exkluding title/cover sheet, table of contents, list of references, and attachments)

If you have applied for ETP before, please add a short revision report: A section that describes what have been revised since the last time and how the feedback given has been taken into consideration.

CV with a special section for educational activities

The CV should be put together in such a way that the assessors can form an opinion of the applicant’s teaching activities and experience, pedagogic training, and other relevant qualifications.

Verification of disscussions with critical friends

Applicants shall add a verification that they have discussed the content of the teaching portfolio with minimum two persons who are themselves ETP. These persons act as critical friends and the discussions should focus on the content of the portfolio with the aim of identifying possible improvements (the critical friends have no saying in the assessment). Applicants chose their critical friends themselves and are responsible for the discussions taking place.

Recommendation from head of department

The applicant's head of department shall write a statement/recommendation (if applicable anchored also on divisional level) which the head of department submits directly to the application address (see the previous page). In this way, the head of department is given the opportunity to describe how the applicant is functioning in his or her role as a teacher emphasising that there are no shortcomings in the relation to students and colleagues. Applicants need to inform their head of department that they are in the process of applying for ETP and need a statement/recommendation.
