Helping Teachers Teach Well A New System for Measuring and Improving Teaching Effectiveness in Higher Education

Helping Teachers Teach Well introduces faculty, administrators, and researchers to a new system for evaluating teaching effectiveness based on the Productivity Measurement and Enhancement System, a successful evaluation process drawn from the field of organizational psychology. Beginning with a comprehensive overview of the key literature on evaluation and progressing through a detailed examination of the new process, this book encourages faculty participation and acceptance of evaluations and explains in detail the techniques that will allow the successful measurement of group and individual productivity. Checklists, forms, and charts, coupled with the authors' discussion of how the approach works in educational institutions, guide the development of the specific tools needed to put the process into action and to make evaluation effective.
