Purpose: Peer review fosters a continuous learning culture, development and sharing of best practices in teaching, and is consistent with professional accountability and self-regulation associated with the practice of nursing.
In recognition that teaching is a dynamic and ongoing process, the PLU School of Nursing uses peer review to encourage open feedback and ongoing development of all instructors teaching didactic and/or clinical courses.
Peer Review Frequency Requirements and Guidelines:
-
-
- Tenure-Track Faculty: Annually.
- Fulltime, Part-time, Clinical only: Every 2 years.
- New faculty: At end of first year, then every 2 years.
