Peer Evaluator Workshop. Bias in Faculty Evaluations: A Closer Look at Peer Evaluation of Teaching (PET)
This workshop is designed to help peer evaluators recognize and interrupt bias when evaluating a peer’s teaching as part of promotion, tenure, and reappointment processes. While the workshop will benefit all employees, the target audience for this workshop includes those in a position to evaluate peers for promotion, tenure, and/or reappointment, including department chairs, deans, and members of an institution’s personnel committee. While the workshop is organized around teaching evaluation, most elements are relevant to many aspects of faculty evaluation.
