• Resumen

  • Although participation in faculty development programs has been linked to improvements in teaching and positiveoutcomes in student learning, prior research has yet to uncover how these outcomes might lead to increases in studentevaluation of teaching scores. Student evaluation of teaching scores are frequently used in tenure and promotion decisions,and prior research has found that these scores often decline over time. Thus, it is important to better understand howfaculty development programs might work to improve these scores. In this study, we examine whether student evaluationsof teaching scores do decline over time, and the potential impact of a faculty development program on these evaluations.
