The Making Learning Visible (MLV) Series is designed to help faculty assess the efficacy of classroom strategies, document the effectiveness of their teaching, share effective strategies with peers and demonstrate exemplary teaching in the promotion and tenure portfolio. Participants who attend all four sessions will receive a copy of the book "Inquiry into the College Classroom" and an external hard drive with templates and sample forms for developing your own teaching inquiry or assessment project.
A beginning exploration of assessing and documenting your teaching
This series of four sessions is for faculty interested in exploring how to assess,
document and advance effective teaching and student learning.
The series is centered on discussion of the book "Inquiry into the College Classroom: A journey toward scholarly teaching" by Paul Savory, Amy Nelson Burnett and Amy Goodburn. (Book is free for the first 10 faculty who register.) The publisher describes this book as a practical how-to-guide and "an invaluable resource for planning and conducting classroom research--formulating questions and hypotheses, defining a data collection methodology, collecting data, measuring the impact and documenting the results. 'Inquiry into the College Classroom' is filled with richly illustrative examples that highlight how university faculty from a range of academic disciplines have performed scholarly inquiries in their teaching."
Series goals:
1. To advance faculty skills in assessing, documenting and demonstrating effective
teaching strategies.
2. To provide peer consultation and university support to faculty working on teaching
assessment and documentation project(s).
