Recommendation
Though generative AI should never be your only source of feedback, it's a useful tool for working through an iterative writing and revision process. AI tools can also help you make sense of the rubric and apply it to your writing.
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can be used as a feedback partner when writing a reflective teaching statement. This guide provides sample prompts to help you get started. Remember, GenAI is a tool—it can support your workflow and provide you with useful feedback, but it cannot substitute for your expertise and the expertise of your colleagues. It should not be your sole source of feedback, and you need to check its work.
You Will Need:
- Access to the GenAI tool of your choice. Some currently popular tools include ChatGPT-4o, Claude.ai, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. Consider trying out multiple options to see what works for you and how feedback might differ across platforms.
- Your teaching statement.
- The rubric you would like to use to evaluate your teaching statement.
