Deep dives
Understanding Critical Teaching Behaviors
The critical teaching behavior framework is organized into six research-based categories: align, include, engage, assess, integrate technology, and reflect. These categories define observable behaviors that instructors can exhibit both inside and outside the classroom. This framework not only helps to clarify what constitutes good teaching but also offers faculty a way to document their practices effectively. For example, the framework includes representative behaviors along with guidance on the type of documentation faculty can collect, enabling them to create coherent narratives about their teaching based on evidence.
