Resources for Faculty and Departments
The Teaching Engagement Program has created the following templates and guidance for individual reflection and presentation, departmental reflection, and for eliciting meaningful feedback from students:
Teaching Profile Exercise
This exercise supports individual reflection about UO teaching quality standards, drawing out some of the myriad ways faculty enact these broad standards.
Teaching Statement Template
This optional structure provides an outline to assist faculty in their self-presentation for any major review such as midterm, promotion, tenure, or post-tenure review.
The Department Teaching Profile
This framework supports departmental reflection and conversation about inclusive, engaged, and research-led teaching. It can help departments think about how their individual and collective teaching practices and values align with and go beyond university-wide definitions of teaching quality.

This resource helps departments think through common frustrations with peer review and find structural solutions.
