Teaching and Your Letters of Recommendation

All faculty jobs will require letters of recommendation (generally 3-5). These letters should be written by faculty who know you well and can speak to your scholarship and service. Generally these letter writers are your advisor, a letter from someone else in your department or on your dissertation committee, and someone who can speak to your research teaching potential. When you have little teaching experience, how can you assist your recommenders in writing a letter that addresses teaching potential?
