TEP and UO Online offer a peer review template as a resource (pdf, Word document with checkable boxes, or an accessible Word document). You can use it to:
- guide the review of any course, regardless of modality (in person, asynchronous online, etc).
- recognize teaching practices that align with professional, inclusive, engaged, and research-informed standards.
- structure specific, collegial conversations between instructors.
- prompt self-reflection.
Depending on unit policy, peer reviewers might submit the completed Peer Review Template itself as the peer review; alternatively, the template might inform a separate written report.
Interspersed through the template are partial inventories of teaching practices that are professional, inclusive, and research-informed, along with references to research showing the link between these practices and enhanced learning. Many of the references contain suggestions for implementing the practices.
