Excellence in Teaching. Teaching refers to the broad area of student/faculty interaction for educational purposes. Generally, a faculty member who excels in teaching is a person who guides and inspires students, maintains scholarship through sustaining breadth and depth of knowledge, contributes to understanding of subject matter, and facilitates the learning of students. A teacher should be able to demonstrate breadth of teaching competence in the content area. For example, theses and scholarly project oversight, supervision of internships, honors courses taught, contributions to course and curriculum development, use and preparation of instructional materials and technology (textbooks, laboratory manuals, open educational resources, computer programs, class projects, cases, audiovisual media, individual instructional modules, models and mock-ups, etc.), experimental instructional methods and techniques, attendance at institutes and other programs relevant to instruction and evidence of impact on students (student evaluations, pre and post-testing results, state board results, certification examination results, job placement, graduate school admissions, GRE and Millers Analogies results, etc.
Excellence in Teaching. The teacher accepts responsibility to strive for excellence in teaching, and to take advantage of opportunities for continually improving his/her teaching skills and his/her relationships with children.
