Units must engage in systematic and periodic peer review of teaching based on classroom visits as appropriate to the mode of course delivery by faculty colleagues. Documentation of the candidate’s teaching record, including the outcomes of regular periodic peer evaluations, should be maintained by the Unit Head. The documentation should also contain any response from the candidate to those evaluations, which can be incorporated into the candidate’s personal statement or included in the teaching portfolio. The candidate will sign and date the peer evaluations included in the dossier, provide a separate statement that confirms that they have reviewed all the peer evaluations included, or initial the applicable box on the signed Candidate Verification Page.
Detailed information about peer evaluation is available through the Teaching and Learning Transformation Center (see the Peer Teaching Observation Guide).
