TEval

This project seeks to advance educational practices and models of more effective teaching evaluation at universities. In addition to developing tools and practices for improved evaluation, we are advancing understanding of the institutional change process for the adoption and integration of new approaches. The overall project encourages the use of evaluation, incentive, and reward processes as a lever to promote greater use of evidence-based teaching within universities as complex systems.
