Peer review of teaching is a method of assessing the quality and effectiveness of a faculty member’s teaching practices on rounds; in the classroom, simulation center, clinic, operating room or lab; during journal club or grand rounds; or anywhere else that teaching occurs.
As the name suggests, a colleague (another faculty or staff member at IU) reviews materials and/or observes you teaching and then provides you a written summary of their observation. This written summary can be used for promotion and tenure, awards, honor societies or simply with the goal of increasing teaching effectiveness.
