Start Here: Important Information About the 2025 UW School of Medicine Teaching Portfolio Guidelines
– The 2025 UW School of Medicine Teaching Portfolio Guidelines go into effect for Academic Year 26-27 (promotion effective 7/1/2027).
– If you already have a completed Teaching Portfolio or have spent significant time towards one in-process: You do not need to use the new format. Do not revise materials that have already been submitted.
– Access to prior materials: Previous Teaching Portfolio guidelines and resources are available here until January 5, 2026.
– For all new Teaching Portfolios: Use the 2025 Teaching Portfolio Guidelines.
– Note: the new Teaching Portfolio replaces the former Executive Summary of Teaching document.
– Reducing redundancy: The 2025 Teaching Portfolio Guidelines do not include teaching evaluations, a statement of teaching philosophy, or a summary of all teaching contributions.
However:
– If teaching is part of the requirements for your title, peer and learner teaching evaluations must be included in your promotion packet.
– If teaching is part of the requirements for your title OR a significant area of contribution, the required Self-Assessment should summarize your teaching responsibilities and describe your teaching approach and philosophy.
Questions? Contact your department’s promotion lead for guidance on what to include in your promotion packet.
