Robust teaching evaluation relies on three perspectives: students, trained peers, and instructor self-reflection. Robust evaluation can support and recognize teaching effectiveness and improvement, provide meaningful and trustworthy information for faculty and departments, and ensure fairness and minimize bias.

This resource – developed by the DeLTA Project and in partnership with the CTL – is intended to provide guidance and support for you, as you draw on three voices (students, peers, and the instructors themselves) to evaluate your teaching effectiveness.
