Abstract
Peer reviews of teachers are formal evaluations of faculty members performed by colleagues and peers in their college or university for promotion, tenure, and salary adjustment purposes. They are also used for development and improvement of teaching methods, techniques, and styles. However, little is known about their authenticity, practicality, and usefulness. This study aimed to learn more about methods and uses of information from peer reviews of teaching in Communication Sciences and Disorders programs. A national survey of 115 participants from 85 programs demonstrated that peer reviews were used in many programs with mostly positive results with varied use, format, and conduct of the reviews. Peer review results were meaningful to almost 80% of the respondents.
