Section 9
Documenting and Improving Teaching Because teaching is one of the most important parts of your work in higher education, it merits regular scrutiny and upgrading. Not only is it critical for you to understand how you are doing in the classroom, others who must assess your work need such evidence as well. Whether your purpose for evaluating your teaching is formative or summative, this section suggests ways you can take stock of your own teaching, identify strategies for improvement, and keep a useful record of your accomplishments.
