Teaching Effectiveness. Nipissing University prides itself on being a student-centred university where effective teaching is a highly valued institutional priority. Good teaching is expected of all faculty members and the evaluation of teaching will form an essential component of tenure and promotion considerations. University teaching requires more than classroom performance. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate mastery of their subject area(s) or discipline(s), to make thorough preparation for their classes, to communicate effectively with their students, to show a willingness to respond to students' questions and concerns, and to exhibit fairness in evaluating students. As stated below under the Scholarship of Teaching, teaching is a dynamic endeavour involving all the analogies, metaphors, and images that build bridges between the teacher’s understanding and the student’s learning. Pedagogical procedures must be carefully planned, continuously examined, and relate directly to the subject taught. Good teachers stimulate active, not passive, learning and encourage students to be critical, creative thinkers, with the capacity to go on learning long after their university days at Nipissing are over. Members who have interdisciplinary appointments and who teach in more than one department or program must be evaluated on all of their teaching assignments, and not just within their primary department’s discipline and programs. Both before and after tenure is awarded, Members are expected to remain committed to improving/enhancing their teaching performance and to remedy problems identified with their teaching. As faculty progress through the ranks, they will be expected to extend their knowledge of their field(s) or discipline(s) with regard to course content, currency of the material presented, and new teaching methods.
Teaching Effectiveness. In a liberal arts college, teaching is the most important of faculty responsibilities and occurs in a multiplicity of formal and informal settings and models including lecture, seminar, internships, and independent studies. Faculty will provide high quality instruction in class, laboratory, studio and other settings, as evidenced by instructional materials and practices, through peer review and student evaluations.
Teaching Effectiveness. (a) Effectiveness as a teacher implies a concentrated and successful effort to create the best possible learning situation for students. It involves continuing attention to course work, course design and related activities; and to the supervision of students in alternative modes of learning. It may involve participation in seminars and colloquia, the design of innovative methods of teaching, or other contributions to the teaching activities of the University and beyond. Effectiveness in teaching may be assessed by a variety of means including but not limited to: self-reflection; appraisals by fellow Members or pedagogical experts; examples of lectures, class materials, exams and assignments; presentations, articles and practice guides; prizes or awards; evidence of pedagogical leadership, impact, mentorship of others; receiving mentorship or training.
