Teaching Effectiveness: Beyond Course Evaluations

This Workshop will focus on alternative inputs for evaluating teaching effectiveness (e.g., student work products, course reviews, mid-semester student feedback, etc.). Using national models created by decades-long, multi-institutional studies on the evaluation of teaching and learning, this workshop will assist in the development of unit-level processes as part of the UNCG Teaching Effectiveness Policy . The UNCG Teaching Effectiveness Policy is pending final approval by the UNC System, and was developed by an institutional work group in response to the UNC System Teaching Effectiveness Policy (400.3.1) and Regulation on Teaching Effectiveness(400.3.1.1[R]). The UNC System policy and regulation require all campus policies to include three inputs for measuring teaching effectiveness: course evaluations, peer review, and self-evaluations. The UNCG Policy mirrors the UNC System documents and requires that individual academic units develop procedures for meeting the minimum requirements.
