It need not be that long. While evaluation by both peers and learners is required, the extent and format of the data that are required will be determined by the faculty member's department. These evaluations will derive from ongoing teaching evaluation efforts established within each department. Data collection and maintenance will be a departmental function. Typically, the department will select appropriate, representative pieces of this information for incorporation into the teaching portfolio at the time of consideration for promotion and for discussion at the annual review.
Departments vary in the extensiveness of their current teaching evaluation activities.
For some departments it will be necessary to expand these activities. To assist these departments, consultation will be available on request from the Office of Educational Development. The following is a partial list of materials individual faculty members may elect to add to their portfolios. Videotapes of teaching by the faculty member in clinical, laboratory, and other non-didactic settings. Reports of any studies conducted by the faculty member relating to medical, graduate, or undergraduate education.
