Teaching Effectiveness

Documentation Help

While the Center is not involved in the administrative evaluation of faculty and will not provide letters of recommendation for faculty, staff members are available to assist instructors in developing appropriate ways to demonstrate or document teaching effectiveness.

Individual Consultation Services

Confidential consultations may include observing or video taping and analyzing classroom teaching, assisting in identifying skills and competencies expected of students in a particular course or discipline, or helping identify techniques and approaches appropriate for a discipline.

Student Group Instructional Diagnosis

A member of the Center staff may make a 15-minute visit to a regular class session to facilitate the expression of student opinions and suggestions about the course. Consensus views are written down and discussed privately with the instructor.
