Framework for Effective Teaching
The Framework for Effective Teaching establishes a structured approach to considering and evaluating teaching in its diverse and inclusive aspects while ensuring holistic consideration.
The Framework for Effective Teaching comprises five domains:
- Expertise, Content, and Outcomes
- Course Design
- Instructional Practice
- Learning Environments
- Reflection, Growth, and Leadership.
These five domains span the full array of teaching activities, with equity and inclusivity as a theme running through each domain. The framework:
- Provides a structured means of reflecting on and taking action to improve teaching practice across multiple facets.
- Ensure that instructors and evaluators share a common understanding of quality teaching indicators to support thorough, equitable teaching evaluation, which aligns with institutional goals for quality teaching.
The Framework will help you consider the following:
- How can you improve students' learning experience in our courses?
- How do we know what aspects of your teaching practice are effective and what could be improved?
- What methods are available to you to facilitate the continual development of your teaching practice?
- How will you know if your newly learned interventions have impacted learning?
