Description : The purpose of this learning session is to provide OHIO faculty and staff with the tools and techniques to document teaching excellence. Teaching excellence at OHIO is described using six descriptors (well-designed, well-delivered, inclusive, learner-focused, reflective, and evolving) and eight criteria (preparation, engagement, inclusion, subject expertise, pedagogical competence, outcomes, improvement, and adaptability/innovation). Per the Ohio University Faculty Handbook (IV.A.8), faculty are expected to provide evidence of their teaching effectiveness using one or more of the teaching excellence criteria and multiple sources of evidence.

Learning Outcomes : After the learning session, participants will be able to:

• Recognize the six descriptors and eight criteria of Teaching Excellence at OHIO.
• Identify possible sources of evidence.
• Map potential sources of evidence to one or more of the eight criteria.
• Create an individual plan to systematically document and report evidence of teaching effectiveness.
