Teaching Resources
- Department Programs
- New faculty can prepare for peer observations with our informal process:
- In your first year, we recommend that you step into another faculty member’s class and talk with them about how they teach and why. Check with the Teaching Award and Peer Observation Committee for suggestions of classrooms to visit.
- You will also receive an informal peer observation in your first year. Engage in the observation process in a low-stakes way. You can keep this observation in your file, or use it as practice.
- The Government Department Teaching Excellence and Innovation Award, made possible through a generous donation from Dr. Charles Seidel, recognizes intentional teaching investments that improve student success in our department. The Government Department Teaching Award and Peer Observation Committee selects one recipient per semester.
