The College of Arts and Sciences is introducing the Teaching Partners Program to promote the exchange of effective and innovative teaching strategies.

This program will

• Encourage the development and exchange of successful and novel teaching practices within CAS.
• Fulfill UWF’s strategic priority of inspiring and achieving the highest levels of student learning, creativity, and success that encourage the development of individual potential in students, faculty, and staff.
• Facilitate peer reviews of teaching for CAS faculty, as well as formal evaluations of their teaching that can be used as a component of annual evaluations.

CAS faculty members who sign up will be partnered with another faculty member for a peer visit. Partners will visit each other’s classes to learn about and share their teaching practices and styles. Teaching partners can follow-up their visits with a formal evaluation that can be used as a peer review of teaching.

Any full-time CAS faculty members can participate in the program.

Please see Teaching Partners Program Description for a full description of the program.
