Using the Feedback

• Read the students' comments carefully.• Think about changes.• Reflect with a faculty developer or colleague.• Make a brief list of comments to respond to in class.

Page 14: Select Slides… Spring 2013 Training Strengthening Teaching and Learning through the Results of Your Student Assessment of Instruction (SAI) For Faculty

Use the Feedback as Part of Your Reflection Loop

• Discussing your response to a few of the students' responses shows you take their comments seriously.

• Respond to student suggestions with an explanation of why you have decided NOT to make any adjustments.

• At the end of the semester, revisit the midterm evaluations, along with the end-of-semester course evaluations, to remind yourself of the feedback students provided at each stage. Then, write a few notes to yourself about specific aspects of the feedback that you will want to remember the next time that you teach.

• Document your changes and impact when possible…

What Do Students Say?

• What we learned….

Page 35: Select Slides… Spring 2013 Training Strengthening Teaching and Learning through the Results of Your Student Assessment of Instruction (SAI) For Faculty

Educating Students

• … to have standards• …to self-assess and reflect• …to collaborate with faculty• …to know they are having an impact

Page 36: Select Slides… Spring 2013 Training Strengthening Teaching and Learning through the Results of Your Student Assessment of Instruction (SAI) For Faculty

Faculty – Concerns They Have

• Who decides on questions? (Honors example)• How can we use these more effectively?• How are the reports used by deans and others?

• Summative and formative role affirmed in Faculty Council and the end of the academic year this was not clear among them prior.

Looking for patterns across classes and across disciplines…. (Campus Presidents’ Dashboard Image)

Page 39: Select Slides… Spring 2013 Training Strengthening Teaching and Learning through the Results of Your Student Assessment of Instruction (SAI) For Faculty

Questions for Reflection with Your Own Report of Results(Helpful in Conversations with Deans…)

1. How can the student feedback translate into teaching strategies or some sort of action?

2. Have you been using a midterm evaluation to gather and respond to student ideas earlier in the term?

3. What is being done in your discipline’s Program Learning Outcomes Assessment Plan to strengthen the student experience (or specific to an item on their report)?

4. How can we improve the response rate in our division? What approaches are you using?
