@DanFChambliss @rpezer1 Looking at inputs. Teaching portfolios, teaching materials, assessments, samples of student work, ... (trained) peer observation. Dropping the pretense that we can make fine distinctions or quantify teaching with a single number. #quantifauxcation
#Quantifauxcation, always worth recalling this neologism.
