Application

To have their qualifications assessed, teachers applying for ETP should subit the following (in pdf format):

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

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. 

Recommendation from head of department

A statement from the applicant's head of department (if applicable anchored also on divisonal level) shall be attached to the application. In this way, the head of department is given the opportunity to certify that he or she is of the opinion that the applicant is a good teacher - in particular that there are no shortcomings when it comes to relations to students and colleagues.

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.
