Ross, Dorene D.; And Others
College Teaching, v43 n4 p134-38 Fall 1995
A University of Florida instructional improvement program includes these features: competitive awards in the form of base faculty salary increases, three-year cycle for competition, focus on undergraduate teaching, and use of measures of both quantity (contact/credit hours) and quality (portfolios) of instruction. The program evolved from a concerted effort to legislate improved instruction at the state level. (MSE)
