The reviewer then personally reports his or her findings to the instructor of the course. Finally, the course instructor submits a summary report of the review to the Dean's Office. Summary of Responses in 1985 From the Schools to the Report of the First Task Force Most Schools, from time to time, incorporate questions relating to teaching into the agenda of faculty meetings. The other Schools addressed these questions at the departmental level or in tutorials. Whereas the Deans of the School state that they have not received direct instructions to ensure that good teaching be rewarded by merit salary increases, most of them do this.
Some schools give poor teachers lower than normal increases in salary.
Many Schools do not use graduate students as teaching fellows. Those that have teaching fellows state that re-appointment is based on teaching performance and dedication as well as on academic achievement. All but three Schools have their own teaching awards. There is a great diversity in the visibility given to the awards by differing Schools. Less than half of the Schools displayed plaques or made efforts to increase the visibility of teaching awards.
