The problem: a group of faculty members concerned that teaching excellence was getting short shrift in the faculty evaluation process
The initial question: What can (and
do) student evaluations really tell us?
The department had a culture that valued excellent teaching, and in some ways took it for granted. Salary increases were based on data provided using the campus faculty annual report form (Unit 2 A page 12). It had become abundantly clear that those faculty members engaging in innovative or particularly effective pedagogical change were not being rewarded because nobody knew what they were doing or how effective it might be.
