Resources

The College of Arts and Sciences offers departments a wide array of support for QTI. 

• People: Project Leads and Consultants.
• QTI in a Box (Tailored resources as departments adopt, adapt, or author QTI plans):​
  
  • Student Voice: Tools and processes for student interviews, FCQs and more.
  • Peer Voice: Routine collegial discussions about teaching practice and protocols to guide classroom observations offer departments ways to improve both teaching and evaluation.
  • QTI Self Voice: Faculty self voice is key evidence to evaluate teaching. This section suggests ways to conduct self-reflection, teaching statements, etc. 
  • Sample Rubric: This rubric could be adopted “as is”; adapted for your unit (feel free to make a copy/download to modify); or used as a starting point to author a departmental framework. (What we mean by "scholarly framework.")

  • A&S overview of timing/processes for reappointment, promotion and tenure.
