• The Development/Peer-Teaching Evaluation Review Committee (DPTERC) was created to fulfill 2 basic needs for faculty members seeking development or promotion. First, the committee will provide the Restorative Dentistry (RESD) chair with feedback about a faculty member's scholarly development, progress toward promotion, and the quality of promotion documents and CV. The chair can use this information to guide and help the faculty member.
• Second, the committee will fulfill the requirement of the School of Dentistry APT document that a formal evaluation of the faculty member's teaching be provided to the Department Chair and APT committee in the year of promotion.
