Teaching evaluation protocols are inadequate, inaccurate, do not enhance teaching, nor incentivize improvement. A framework (Framework for Assessing Teaching Effectiveness, FATE) and rubric defining effective teaching were developed. However, changing teaching assessment requires overcoming hurdles. FATE implementation was studied using a mock academic department and faculty learning community. FATE provides a complete/inclusive definition of teaching and clarity around teaching expectations that allows a comprehensive teaching assessment. However, increased transparency, locating and presenting evidence, and time commitment are issues. This work has contributed to forming policies and practices within the Center for Teaching and Learning and institution.
