Teaching Portfolio

Michael M. O'Hara, Ph.D.

This site documents the multiple efforts in which I engage to improve my teaching. First, let me briefly explain the table of contents at left:

* Home brings you back to this page.
* P & T shows my Promotion and Tenure Essay
* Role in Department documents my current role, as I understand it.
* Teaching Philosophy explains how I view teaching.
* Summary of Major Accomplishments documents and explains those accomplishments I most value as a teacher.
* Evolution of Course Design documents how two different courses changed over time as I sought to continually improve those classes.
* Pedagogy in Theatre documents several articles, presentations, and papers that I have written on teaching and the scholarship of teaching.

Rather than separate an essay from documentation, this site seeks to integrate the formal portfolio essay with key capabilities of hypertext to create a web-based portfolio.
