The Center for Teaching Excellence presents the second of two special interactive seminars by Visiting Scholar and Professor Harry Hubball, University of British Columbia, Canada Scholarly Approaches to Peer Review of Teaching in a Research-intensive University Context: Summative and Formative Practices in Multi-disciplinary Settings Wednesday, December 8, 2021 11:30 am–12:45 pm Location: Online Event This presentation describes an institutional initiative intended to address many of these historical shortcomings through the development of scholarly, and therefore more credible, approaches to the PRT within and across the disciplines at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada. The peer-review of teaching leadership initiative, led by a team of UBC national teaching fellows, was fuelled by institutional concerns about the quality of student learning experiences and the effectiveness of teaching in a multi-disciplinary research-intensive university context. Canadian universities have long recognized the importance of attending to the evaluation of teaching practices in their particular context; however, the enactment of localized scholarship directed at these practices remains very much in its infancy. Issues addressed in this presentation include: -contemporary approaches to the evaluation of teaching in higher education - faculty “buy-in” and the evaluation of teaching in a research-intensive university - scholarly approaches to summative and formative performance reviews of teaching (PRT) - Faculty-specific engagement in summative and formative (informal to formal) PRT training and implementation - strategic institutional supports (funding, expertise, mentoring, technological resources) Following a brief introduction to compare and contrast related international contexts for PRT, this interactive presentation will engage participants in a dialogue around key processes, challenges and outcomes.
