Formative Peer Review Fellow Services

If you would like confidential support to enhance your teaching in face-to-face, online, or hybrid settings, our Formative Peer Review Fellows (FPR Fellows) are ready to help! They are PFW faculty members who have been trained to provide teaching consultation services using a model of collegial, formative peer review.

Formative Peer Review

Formative peer review focuses on the enhancement of teaching and learning. These confidential consultation services are driven by your teaching goals and tailored to meet your individual needs and interests. FPR Fellows offer the following formative peer review services:

Classroom observation
Review of instructional materials and activities
Syllabus review
Small Group Instructional Diagnostic (SGID)
Assessment of student learning
Analysis of student feedback and evaluation data

To request a consultation, please complete the Teaching Consultation Request Form.

Online Course Design Review

FPR Fellows can also provide formative peer review of online courses. They have been trained in Quality Matters™, a nationally recognized, faculty-driven peer-review process for online and hybrid course design. FPR Fellows use CELT's Online Course Design Standards [PDF] to provide formative, confidential feedback.

To self-assess your online course, download our Online Course Review Readiness Checklist [PDF].

To request a formative online course review, please complete the Online Course Design Review Request Form.

Recognition for Continuous Improvement of an Online Course

To receive this recognition, your course must undergo an Online Course Design Review with the CELT FPR Fellows. As part of the review, your reviewer will help you prepare an Action Plan for making changes that enhance your online course. After implementing this Action Plan, you can apply for recognition of continuous improvement of your online course. Approved applicants will receive a $250 stipend.

*Note: Recipients of the Online Course Design Grant are not eligible for this recognition for the same course.

The CELT FPR Fellow role is distinguished by its rarity in finding individuals who embody these qualities. It's an honor earned through an application process designed to understand your interest in becoming a teaching fellow, your beliefs about teaching and learning, and evidence of your effectiveness as an instructor. This is an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the university by providing valuable feedback to colleagues. Applicants must have at least three years of teaching experience before applying.
