Peer review of the teaching process can:

• improve the quality of teaching and learning through open discussion and systematic critique
• help cultivate a collegial atmosphere through dialogue about common issues of concern
• provide a more comprehensive evaluation of teaching by examining aspects not covered by student evaluations
• provide data for promotion and appraisal purposes

The process can be requested by the department chair and /or a faculty member at any time in his/her career, however the results of the observation and assessment are shared only between the observers and the faculty member, unless the faculty member chooses otherwise. The process is a three step process and is outlined in more detail in the attached document.
