Confidentiality
TAP is committed to fostering a supportive environment, enabling individuals to freely reflect on and explore their teaching practices in meetings with us without concern for evaluation or judgment. We conduct pedagogical observations and provide recommendations for formative purposes (such as for fostering teaching improvement and success) and not evaluative purposes (such as for promotion, tenure, or review processes).
All information pertaining to and shared through the consultation process is considered confidential.
This means:
- We do not share information about consultations except with TAP staff for internal training purposes or unless we have your permission to share with others.
- We may track and report our consultations and other activities in aggregate, but all identifying information is removed.
- We do not initiate consultations with instructors at the request of administrators.
