Teaching Resources

After years of gathering information, reading related research and attending professional development and teaching conferences, the Faculty Center has acquired a number outstanding resources. We have provided that information here organized by topic area, take a look to see what you find!

Great Teaching is Inclusive and Equitable

At Rowan University, we believe that great teaching attends to students' diverse needs through inclusive teaching strategies that strive toward equitable learning outcomes for all students. This page offers a variety of resources for our faculty to learn more inclusive and equitable practices in teaching.

Academic Integrity Teaching Resources

Professors have an important responsibility to build a culture of trust and honesty in the classroom to support academic integrity. Learn what you need to know to create this environment, about violations, how to prevent violations, and what to do if you suspect a student of a violation. These teaching tools will help your students gain the skills they’ll need in school and in the workplace.

Informal Student Assessment Tools

Rowan offers two different informal student assessment tools. Use these to obtain feedback from your students. These tools are from Anthology, the same company that offers the IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction, but you can use these tools whether or not you use the IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction. Even those whose department is not participating in the IDEA SRI can use these tools. You will need to have a section in the active semester.
