How do peer evaluations contribute to the PWTI assessment process?

Peer evaluations play a significant role in the PWTI assessment process by providing additional perspectives on an instructor's performance. This collaborative approach allows instructors to receive feedback from their colleagues who may observe their teaching methods, engagement strategies, and overall effectiveness in a way that might not be captured through traditional assessment methods such as written exams. The insights gained from peer evaluations can help identify strengths that an instructor may not recognize in themselves, as well as areas for improvement, ultimately leading to enhanced teaching practices and better student outcomes. By incorporating multiple viewpoints, the assessment process becomes more holistic and reflective of an instructor's true abilities.
