A Teaching Excellence Assessment Process Model

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide an instructional quality assurance process model for academic administrators and educators. A background of established methodologies for measuring teaching effectiveness is initially presented which is followed by a study-developed Teaching Excellence Quality Assurance (TE-QA) process model. A discussion of the various stages of the development and implementation phases outlined in the TE-QA Process Model is also provided. Examples of several TE-QA criteria and measures developed by a panel of academic administrators, educators and industry professionals are presented as well as the rationale for the panel-designed criteria and measures. Implications for educators and hospitality professionals are also addressed.
