In this paper, we argue for the need to define teaching quality more broadly and consider how research across disciplines can inform how we reconsider our measurement of teaching quality. To enable this, we proffer that a move towards a portfolio approach to teaching quality assessment (TQA) is required. Drawing from the teaching quality and…
