PEER Evaluation of Teaching

The purpose of the Peer Evaluation of Teaching is to enhance the quality of teaching and foster a collaborative learning environment. The Peer Evaluation of Teaching (PET) program was initiated at S&T in the summer of 2023. Recognizing the value of constructive feedback and shared best practices, this program was developed with faculty members to provide instructors an additional methodology to gain insights into their teaching techniques from their S&T peers. By encouraging open dialogue and mutual support among colleagues, the program aims to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement and innovation in teaching.

Peer observers meet with  the instructor before and after the observation. The pre-meeting is to discuss the class, the instructor’s goals, and any concerns. The post meeting discusses the observations and the write-up generated during the process.
