Peer Review of Teaching (Menu of Options)

Peer Review of Teaching refers to participation of colleagues in the development and evaluation of one's teaching activities. This peer review of teaching website, developed by a team of faculty at UW-Madison is intended to help instructors clarify their purposes for participating in peer review, and design a program that meets those purposes. In addition, the site provides a Menu of Options (MOO) for peer review.

Peer Mentoring

The UW-Teaching Academy's Teaching Ideas Network is intended to link instructors together for the purpose of consultation about teaching practices.
