TEACHING AND LEARNING COUNCIL: This Council works to advance excellence in teaching and academic advising at UTK. Areas of concern for the Council include incentives for recognizing quality instruction and advising, methods for improving instruction at a campus and departmental level, and guidelines for routine and disciplinary evaluation of teaching, academic advising, and curriculum. For example, the Teaching and Learning Council examines policy issues related to teaching on the campuses and works with the Chief Academic Officer to recognize excellence in teaching and advising. The Council works with the Teaching and Learning Innovation to run a yearly campus-wide program that involves faculty and staff in addressing issues central to improving instruction and advising. The Teaching and Learning Council works with both the Graduate School and the Teaching and Learning Innovation to develop practical means of improving and rewarding instruction and advising on campus.
