Teaching effectiveness is difficult to assess and current mechanisms of evaluation rarely do so adequately, due in part to the absence of established standards for "effective teaching". Without a framework, it is also difficult to monitor growth and provide feedback for improvement. In response, we have developed a framework and rubric to assess teaching effectiveness. The framework establishes a definition of what constitutes effective teaching and considers multiple facets of teaching so that it is flexible enough to accommodate different approaches to teaching. The rubric provides an assessment tool and suggests evidence with which a faculty member might these practices.
