List of Teaching Resources

When considering adopting a teaching change, we strongly recommend using the Teaching Effectiveness Framework to intentionally choose a domain and use the self-assessment rubric for intentional implementation.

We also recognize, at times, that you may want to find your way (back) to a resource, directly. That is the intention of this page – to collate the teaching effectiveness resources from our website on a single page.
