Tools for Evaluating Teaching and Learning

This site provides guidelines and guidance for department chairs and personnel committees for evaluating the performance of junior faculty members in the areas of teaching and learning. University guidelines ask for multiple indicators in these areas, including but not limited to course evaluations and peer assessment of teaching materials (See ACD 506-06). To this end, this site’s discussion of course evaluation, the teaching portfolio, and peer review focuses only on summative issues, or on how teaching is evaluated once it has already taken place. For more comprehensive resources on teaching and learning, including both summative and formative issues, explore the Teaching Resources found on the Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence web site.
