As part of the university’s strategic plan efforts to support excellence in teaching and learning, the Office of the Provost and the Teaching Effectiveness Task Force have developed updated guidance on the comprehensive assessment of teaching at the University of Iowa. Developed with input from college leaders, department leaders, and faculty from a wide range of tracks, ranks, and disciplines, the new framework for the assessment of teaching is the culmination of work first started by the ACE Task Force in 2018.

The Office of the Provost has selected five faculty fellows for fiscal year 2025 to work on various faculty and student success projects, such as increasing mentorship opportunities, developing tools on how to excel in leadership roles, and implementing other initiatives to support the 2022-2027 Strategic Plan.
