Peer review

I am currently looking at people peer reviewing my teaching and my subjects/ teaching. i notice that it is difficult to find anything on the JCU website about peer review- no forms to guide new staff or guidelines about how to do this. it is also interesting that we look at peer review of teaching- and it appeared to be only a few sessions but there is even less available about peer review of curriculum or subjects/ teaching styles as a whole. Given that peer review is supposed to be required now on a yearly basis and it is a requirement for promotion it would be useful to have a discussion about what is peer review, why we do it and how- rather than just doing it because we have to.

Any thoughts or advice is welcomed.

About this blog

The JCU Teaching and Learning Academy is a joint initiative of the Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor’s Office and the Teaching and Learning Development Unit.

The Academy is intended to provide a beacon for professionalism in relation to teaching and learning and a space and place for informed and respectful debate.

The establishment of the Academy is consistent with the Vice-Chancellor’s 2010 priority of ‘a scholarly community’, and with objective A3 (and its accompanying strategies) of the revised Academic Plan component of the University Plan, that is, to Encourage Excellence in Teaching, most especially, to recognise and reward excellence in teaching and learning for university educators.

We hope the blog site will be a lively discussion forum to accompany the face-to-face meetings organised around the Academy.  Members will be able to author original posts, and anyone will be able to comment on those posts.

I look forward to your contributions.

Regards,

Professor Andy Vann, Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor
