What is Teacher Evaluation

Virtual ancillary faculty are instrumental in delivering online instruction and fostering student success across higher education institutions. Program directors should create models of support using performance outcomes and verbal persuasion to foster self-efficacy in order to help instructors avoid feelings of depersonalization that can lead to burnout. The job-demands resources model has been shown to support supervisor efforts to recognize work-related demands in order to provide purposeful resources. The authors of this chapter work as program directors and share examples, rationale, and expertise through a case study approach which highlights best practices for working with virtual ancillary faculty including an in-depth examination of teacher evaluation and professional development strategies.
