The Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) at Concordia University Wisconsin provides support for a formative peer review of the teaching process in which teaching faculty can pair up, observe each other, and offer feedback.
The evaluation criteria categories in this process include:
- Organization and Clarity
- Presentation Skills
- Instructor Presence and Rapport
- Instructional Strategies
- Faith and Learning
- Discipline-specific Expertise
Faculty are encouraged to use the process and the observation form for formative feedback toward the goal of improving teaching.
- Teaching Observation Form and Process
- Teaching Resources
