How do we know good teaching when we see it? Whether you're a new faculty member, a seasoned educator, or an administrator, this episode offers a look at how we can better understand and promote effective teaching practices. Lauren Barbeau, PhD, Assistant Director for Learning and Technology Initiatives at Georgia Tech, joins us to discuss the Critical Teaching Behaviors framework (CTB). The CTB framework was developed by Barbeau and Claudia Cornejo Happel, PhD, to provide a comprehensive system for instructors and administrators to identify and document good teaching. The CTB categorizes effective teaching behaviors into six main areas. These categories are derived from a thorough analysis of research focused on teaching and learning. The areas include alignment, inclusion, engagement, assessment, technology integration, and reflection. Barbeau explains the inspiration behind creating this framework centered on behaviors and each of the six categories. Barbeau discusses how this comprehensive guide can help you plan a path to document your teaching and more. Barbeau says, “we're also showcasing these are the behaviors that lead to improved student outcomes. So, when you're doing these things, you can know that you're an effective instructor and someone reviewing you can know that you're effective as well.” Speaking of Higher Ed is produced by the Center for Instructional Innovation at Augusta University.
