The Teaching Quality Framework (TQF) initiative facilitates departmental and campus-wide efforts to provide a richer evaluation of teaching to enhance the value of high-quality teaching and reward scholarly approaches to improving student learning. ��

The TQF team will work with interested departments to develop and adopt a new framework for supporting and assessing teaching. The framework draws from multiple sources of evidence of high-quality teaching, including the instructor’s materials, peer feedback, and student voices. ��The teaching quality framework is grounded in the scholarship of higher education, including the work of Bernstein and colleagues (, ) and Glassick and colleagues (). It defines teaching as a scholarly activity like research. In this way, teaching can be conceptualized in terms of seven core components of scholarly teaching — goals, content, and alignment; preparation for teaching; methods and teaching practices; presentation and student interaction; student outcomes; mentorship and advising; and reflection, development, and teaching service / scholarship.��To garner support and recognition of scholarship in these areas, one can use three “voices”: from the babyֱ��app member being assessed, their students, and their peers. The framework supports improved teaching by providing standards for development to help babyֱ��app improve their teaching practices. The framework categories are held constant across all departments; however, the interpretation of these categories and their relative weights are defined at a department-by-department level, providing the university with a common approach to assessment while preserving disciplinary identity and specificity.
