Assessing and Evaluating Your Teaching

Presenter: Colin Wallace (Dept. of Physics and Astronomy)

How do I know if I’m doing a good job teaching?  For many faculty, end-of-semester student evaluations are the only form of feedback they receive.  But there are alternatives.  In this workshop, we will learn about various research-supported ways of evaluating your teaching and documenting your growth as an instructor over time.  You will also learn how to provide effective feedback to a colleague about their teaching.  

With the support of the College of Arts and Sciences and the Summer School, UNC’s Summer Institute on College Teaching is running a professional development workshop series this summer for any faculty, postdocs, and graduate students who are interested in learning about the best practices for bringing active learning to their classrooms. Participants in the workshop series will learn how to foster diverse and inclusive classrooms, optimally implement active learning techniques, assess their instruction, and design learning goals and effectively use class time to help students achieve those goals. Attendees of all 8 workshops will earn a certificate as an Education Fellow.
