SUBJECT: Individual Services to Faculty
The Faculty Teaching Excellence Program (FTEP) offers a number of individual
and confidential services to faculty. Upon request, FTEP offers the
following:
Classroom Learning Interview Process (CLIP):
Upon request, FTEP Faculty Associates will facilitate a discussion among a
faculty member's students to gather information about their learning
experiences in a particular class. CLIP is useful for both tenure-line,
early career faculty as well as experienced faculty who appreciate the
opportunity to view their students' learning process through a different
lens. Results are confidential; faculty members may use them for critical
self-reflection or use them as one of the measures of their teaching
requested by their departments.
Classroom Videotaping:
At the request of a faculty member, an FTEP representative will videotape
the instructor teaching a class session. Afterwards, in a confidential
consultation with an FTEP Faculty Associate, the faculty member will view
the tape. The instructor will be able to recognize and validate the
strengths in his or her teaching and the learning environment created in a
specific course, and discuss techniques to try in areas that can be
improved.
Survey of Good Teaching Characteristics:
This 35-item survey asks students to help an instructor in evaluating his or
her teaching. It is an excellent way to identify students' perceptions about
specific teaching areas and see how the students' perceptions match the
instructor's own expectations. After the results of the survey are
tabulated, an FTEP associate will meet with the instructor to discuss them
in detail.
Teaching Portfolio Consultation:
The teaching portfolio gives you the opportunity to reflect on your
teaching, in theory and practice, and, working within the guidelines of your
department, helps you develop a portfolio that suits your individual style.
We encourage all teachers at CU-Boulder to compile a Teaching Portfolio - a
collection of selected documents authored by you, recording your teaching
philosophy and your teaching performance. An FTEP associate can consult with
you during this process.
These individual services to faculty are confidential.
