More Than Just a Number: Interpreting IDEA
The average value is just the tip of the iceberg; much more lies underneath that number. The IDEA student feedback tool is a very powerful instrument providing, just at the click of a button, a wide variety of sections that can help instructors tell their unique teaching story, collect additional evidence for their portfolios, and explore strategies to enhance their classroom practice. Come spend an hour with us decoding IDEA results and discover all the elements that make IDEA Student Feedback “much more than just a number”!
IDEA: More than a Number
This one-hour session explores all aspects of the IDEA student evaluation: how/when it is administered; how it calculates the scores; what the numbers mean; how to use the IDEA to improve your teaching; and how to put the IDEA in a larger context.
