Writing Effective Faculty Peer Reviews of Teaching at Duquesne

At the request of faculty, Judith Bowman (Music School & Member of University Promotion and Tenure Committee) and  Laurel Willingham-McLain (CTE) offered a session on how to write effective faculty peer reviews of teaching within the Duquesne context.  The workshop was cosponsored by Faculty Senate.   Includes how-to’s, observation and write-up templates, and a list of practical resources.

Effective Faculty Peer Review of Teaching (Video & Handouts)

In fall 2009, CTE hosted a workshop on the peer review of teaching with Dr. Nancy Simpson of Texas A&M University (TAMU).  Faculty Senate co-sponsored the event.

The workshop offers valuable guidance for both faculty undergoing peer review and those conducting the review.  Dr. Simpson’s presentation video and handouts are available with password protection for the sole use by the Duquesne academic community.
