Teaching portfolio

Louise Curham: teacher of archives, records, digital preservation, metadata, leadership

Welcome to my teaching portfolio, a selection of materials which showcases aspects of my teaching practice and experience in records, archives, digital preservation, metadata and leadership. This selection of materials showcases aspects of my teaching practice and experience. It illustrates my approaches to the facilitation of learning and provides examples. Where possible, I have ‘annotated’ it with evidence from students and peers to demonstrate my impact. It includes includes my teaching philosophy which is evidenced with examples of practice. It shows my reflective and scholarly approaches to teaching. It includes:

  • teaching materials from the unit Public & Private Records
  • evidence of how my teaching has had an impact on students from their survey results and the scholarly community from my engagement
  • it outlines my developmental plans, such as response to feedback, problems to be solved, professional development goals, etc.

I’ve created it for these reasons:

Pedagogical: to reflect on my teaching experience, approaches and understanding of good practice in higher education.
Personal: to develop a clear vision of what I’m are doing and why.
Professional : to show others what I’m doing as a teacher.

It’s a process of inquiry – I’ll be tweaking and updating it.

About me and what I teach

I reflect on how I understand my role, the process of learning, the evidence I use to understand my impact, my process to learn from my teaching, my goals for the future.
