Teaching Consultation Program

POD encourages and supports improvement in teaching and learning as part of life-long learning in a learner centered environment.

The Teaching Consultation Program (TCP) is voluntary, confidential, structured yet flexible, behaviorally focused, based upon data collected from several sources, and independent of performance review.

Faculty members work with trained, on-campus consultants to assist the faculty member in recognizing and developing instructional behaviors most appropriate for themselves and their students. The consultant meets with the faculty member to explain the specifics of TCP, and, if both agree, then a semester-long process begins.

  • The selection of a class that the faculty member is teaching
  • The administering of a student questionnaire about instructional goals and teaching behaviors
  • A classroom observation and videotaping
  • A questionnaire-guided, structured interview with the participating faculty member
  • The development of strategies and the sharing of resources
  • A follow-up student questionnaire
