Peer Review of Teaching
The University of Adelaide model of peer review comprises two related programs, which have different purposes and uses varying tools and processes.
Teaching Review Program (TRP)
TRP is our summative peer review of teaching program. Applications for Round 1, 2025 are now open, closing on Friday 31 January 2025.
TRP has been designed to provide evidence in support of staff applications for individual University teaching awards, academic promotion, or conversion to Education specialist appointments.
Peer Assisted Reflection & Development Program (PARD-P)
The Peer Assisted Reflection and Development Program (PARD-P)Â is evidence-based and developmental approach to enhancing teaching practice. The program is open to all teaching staff regardless of their level of experience.Â
It is recommended that staff undertake a PARD-P prior to applying to complete a TRP.
Dimensions of teaching
There are ten dimensions of teaching that inform the process of peer observation.
Applicants for the TRP must choose a minimum of six out of the ten dimensions, and we recommend that those completing a PADR-P chose to focus on one or two for their peer review.
