Abstract	Within academe, there is much interest in the workings of the academic marketplace. Efforts to understand how the process unfolds occupy both researchers and participants. Clearly, the search process is complex. This article contributes to one's understanding by systematically examining how teaching is valued and assessed by search committees. As part of this examination, the authors pay particular attention to the use and evaluation of statements of teaching philosophy. Use of such statements is common, but little is known about how they are viewed and evaluated by search committees. The authors' involvement in the Preparing Future Faculty movement led them to create programs to help advanced doctoral students consider their place in the academy. Of particular importance to this effort was helping doctoral candidates consider the range of institutions that exist in higher education and exposing them to information and pedagogies that would enable them to be successful teachers in these varied environments.
