Assessment & Awards

Assembling Your Teaching Dossier:

Putting together your first dossier (or revising an older one) can be daunting. What should you include? What should be left out? Is there a standard template that all dossiers should follow? CTSI (and the TATP) offers workshops and resources to assist students in assembly the dossier.
