This section includes three tools revisiting how a campus evaluates teaching.
In small liberal arts colleges, teaching is the most important and closely evaluated aspect of faculty workload. It’s also arguably the most fraught and vulnerable to bias and inequity, particularly in peer and student evaluations.
Interrupting Bias in Peer Evaluation of Teaching (PET)
This module provides a ready-to-implement workshop designed to help peer evaluators recognize and interrupt bias when evaluating a peer’s teaching.
Revisiting Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs)
This section outlines key concerns with student evaluations of teaching (SETs) and offers ready-to-implement workshops for reviewing an existing SET or developing a new one.
Complementing Student Evaluations with Additional Measures of Teaching Effectiveness
Here, you’ll find support for campuses to complement student evaluations of teaching (SETs) by using multiple measures of teaching effectiveness.

The Toolkit was developed as a collaboration across ACS campuses as part of a grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations. To learn more about the grant project, the teams and campuses involved, and the development and piloting of these resources, visit the “About This Project” page.
