LibGuides: Holistic Evaluation of Teaching Resource Guide: Evidence from Peers

Background

Gathering feedback on teaching from peers is an essential practice for the development of teaching skills and exploration of pedagogical possibilities. Evidence from peers may include peer review of teaching and teaching materials, invitations from peers to present on teaching and learning, teaching awards received from peers, and other formal and informal feedback. For more information on peer feedback, see Evidence from Peers on the CLT website.
