Teaching Excellence Seminar “Peer Review: One Feature of a Balanced
Approach to Evaluating Teaching Effectiveness”
Dr. Suzanne
Ozment
Executive
Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, University of South Carolina
Aiken
October 29, 2008
Description
The results of teaching evaluations can be used to improve teaching,
and peer review is a common method of evaluating teaching. How do
you ensure consistent peer review? What difference does it make?
This seminar will describe one model for peer review of teaching,
discuss its implementation, and review lessons learned.
This model was developed by faculty
and administrators at USC Aiken, who drew on professional literature
that incorporates best practices to ensure consistency among
evaluators. Through a formal process, peer reviews contribute to the
assessment of teaching effectiveness previously defined primarily by
annual self-report and student teaching evaluations. Join us on
October 29 to discuss this balanced approach of evaluating teaching
effectiveness.
