About the teaching portfolio

Aarhus University aspires to be an attractive university for students and staff alike with excellent degree programmes and engaging teaching. An element of this aspiration is individualised pedagogical competence development for all teaching staff.

The senior management team at AU has discussed how to combine the ambitions of excellent degree programmes with the requirements established in the employment structure for Danish higher education.

On this basis, it has been decided that teachers at AU must use the Danish Framework for Advancing University Pedagogy to describe their competencies in a teaching portfolio. All teaching staff must regularly – and at least once a year – create and maintain a teaching portfolio and discuss their teaching competencies with their immediate superior.

The teaching portfolio will be used during the annual staff development dialogues (SDD) or group development dialogues (GDD). At these dialogues, it will be discussed how the faculty members’ teaching competencies can be maintained and developed before the next discussion.
