| Summary: | This book takes off from the premise that student ratings are a necessary, but not sufficient, source of evidence for measuring teaching effectiveness. It is a fun-filled - but solidly evidence-based - romp through more than a dozen other methods that include measurement by self, peers, outside experts, alumni, administrators, employers, and even extraterrestrials. As the major stakeholders in this process, both faculty and administrators, plus clinicians who teach in schools of medicine, nursing, and the allied health fields, need to be informed about the strengths and weaknesses of the various scales used to measure teaching performance. This is the first basic introduction in the faculty evaluations literature to take you step-by-step through the "Top Secret" process to develop these tools, interpret their scores, and make decisions about teaching improvement, annual contract renewal/dismissal, merit pay, promotion, and tenure.
