His work on evaluating biology teachers that I’d like to investigate about possible transferability to what we teach. His teaching Practices Inventory: http://www.cwsei.ubc.ca/resources/TeachingPracticesInventory.htm

Includes articles about the inventory, a clean copy to use (modify or build on), and why this is a better way to evaluate and improve teaching than student evaluations, peer observations, teaching portfolios and/or pre and post testing.

I didn’t realize that the inventory is supposed to be for self evaluation (and is therefore perhaps a good way to practice some structured reflective teaching practices.)

Also, we have read this article of his in several contexts and it continues to be compelling introduction as to why we shouldn’t always lecture:

And, his reply to the meta-analysis about teaching (includes the bloodletting line):
