Observing for Quality Teaching and Learning: Volunteer Evaluator Training Guide
There are multiple places where investments can and should be made to promote and achieve educational quality.
- Hiring and investing in instructors and staff with strong skills and the desire to improve those skills.
- Supporting and monitoring instructors’ delivery of material and students’ ability to receive, internalize and
- reproduce learning.
- Ensuring that sequential learning opportunities exist for students to fully explore a discipline or field.
- Assessing and acknowledging student work that is strong and providing critical feedback when further development is warranted.
In this context the focus of our work will be exploring and investing in quality teaching and learning — the space created when instructors and students work together to ensures everyone learns by engaging in meaningful conversation, choices and reflection.
