Comprehensive Evaluation of Teaching
-
All of the DU reports on teaching excellence recommend using mutliple methods (beyond just student rating forms) to fairly evaluate teaching performance. Many reports recommend annual review of teaching and “enhanced” review at specific intervals. Teaching review would be based on an articulated breakdown of sources of evidence developed by each unit/dept.
Although there are varying opinions and research around Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs)/Student Ratings of Instruction (SRIs), most agree that they should never be used as the sole basis of evaluating someone's teaching performance and effort.
