Rigorous and equitable evaluation of teaching requires gathering evidence from multiple perspectives. Relying heavily on end‑of‑course student evaluations can be limited and, in some cases, biased. The resources below are adapted from the three-voice framework at University of Georgia. They provide guidance for how to create a more complete and trustworthy picture of teaching effectiveness by considering how to incorporate information from trained faculty peers, students, and instructors themselves.
Peer Voice
Peer reviewers bring discipline expertise and structured observation to offer a clearer, more reliable view of teaching practice.
Student Voice
Students provide essential insights that can be collected through mid-semester evaluations, short assessments, and end-of-course evaluations.
Instructor Voice
Instructors provide essential context by documenting their teaching goals, decisions, and growth through reflective practice.
