Aligning practice to policies: changing the culture to recognize and reward teaching at research universities

Aligning practice to policies: changing the culture to recognize and reward teaching at research universities

In this review, the authors highlight the gap between existing policies at many research institutions, which explicitly value teaching, and their tenure and promotion practices that do not do the same. The authors present four guiding principles for aligning practice with formal policies and three examples of existing initiatives on university campuses.
