Illustrated through examples of course portfolios created through a four-year project on peer review of teaching, this book demonstrates that well-designed peer review can be integrated into the daily professional lives of faculty, improve faculty teaching by providing a guiding context for formative assessment and collaboration, and make the learning that comes from effective teaching visible and accessible for review within institutional reward systems. Explicitly intended to help faculty conceptualize how their teaching and the student learning that results can be made visible, this book offers a model of peer review to document, assess, reflect on, and improve teaching and student learning through the use of a course portfolio. It provides a rationale for treating teaching as intellectual work, accompanied by a rich collection of materials--course portfolios, reviewers' comments, and portfolio authors' reflections drawn from more than 200 professors in various disciplines and institutions--that faculty can use to develop their own models for peer review of teaching. |

One tool for documenting and reflecting on the quality of teaching and student learning is a course portfolio.

Illustrated through examples of course portfolios created during a four-year project on peer review of teaching, this book demonstrates how faculty can integrate well-designed peer review into their daily professional lives, thus improving their teaching by incorporating a means for assessment and collaboration and revealing the student learning that happens with effective teaching within an institutional reward systems. This book offers a model of peer review intended to help faculty document, assess, reflect on, and improve teaching and student learning through the use of a course portfolio. It features a rich collection of materials--including four dozen exhibits to help assemble a portfolio, reviewers' comments, and reflections drawn from more than 200 professors and portfolio authors in various disciplines and institutions--that faculty can use to develop their course portfolios to be used in their peer review of teaching. |
