Development-Focused Peer Review

The Development-Focused Peer Review of Teaching is a signature program from the WVU Teaching and Learning Center. Instructors learn how to give and receive a peer review of teaching in a supportive environment. We will use a collection of peer review forms as instructors participate in a formative, development-focused peer review. While the WVU Teaching and Learning Center supports peer review for formative purposes, the skills we'll cover are also useful when conducting summative peer reviews for annual evaluation.
