All faculty of the University of Toronto are expected to be effective, competent teachers. The Teaching Assessment Committee (a reading committee of the Senior Promotion Committee) is given the responsibility of assessing the candidate’s competence as a teacher when teaching is not the main criterion for promotion.
To aid the Teaching Assessment Committee, candidates whose teaching is to be assessed on the basis of competence must prepare a ‘Mini’ Teaching Dossier.
The ‘Mini’ Teaching Dossier consists of: - Curriculum Vitae
- OPTIONAL (IF APPLICABLE) Creative Professional Activity Report: Introduction – The CPA Introduction will largely discuss the CPA but can also include a statement concerning the candidate’s teaching philosophy
- Teaching & Education Report
- Include any evaluations such as Teaching Effectiveness Score (TES) from undergraduate, postgraduate or CE or any other formal evaluations. Teaching Evaluation Scores – A Summary of the scores is required. Please refer to the link for more details on TES data.
Creative Professional Activity Report Create your CPA Introduction using the Creative Professional Activity Report. See attached PowerPoint presentation on how to attach CV entries to your CPA report.
The University of Toronto Creative Professional Activity Report is one of the standard reports provided in WebCV.
If you presently do not have access to WebCV, please contact the Department of Medicine Business Officer to discuss access to the application for your promotion.
If you do not manage your CV in WebCV, you are asked to prepare your Creative Professional Activity Report by using the MicroSoft Word version available through this link.

Teaching Evaluation Scores (TES)
As a further delineation on the Department’s Responsibility to collect and manage Teaching Evaluation Scores for faculty, the following summary provides a specific statement concerning the Department of Medicine's procedures and policies related to the management of teaching evaluation data.
Clinical teachers may obtain postgraduate education teaching scores through POWER three times a year (October 1, January 1 and April 1) during which time the application remains open for a one week period to allow teachers to obtain quarterly teaching scores. Thereafter, the application will allow teachers at the end of June to access the annualized city-wide scores. This data does not provide percentile ranking across all Department of Medicine programs . The Department of Medicine Research Education Office provides this synthesis of all data obtained from the POWER database and finalizes the percentile ranking by August (for the prior academic year). The final teacher score as compared to his/her colleagues in the Department is prepared as a paper report and mailed to the teacher. The teacher’s responsibility is to maintain this report for the Mini Teaching Dossier or the Full Formal Teaching Dossier. The Department does not keep the individual reports.
In a similar method, teachers may acquire undergraduate teaching scores through MEDSIS. The teaching data is updated semi-annually (July and December). Similar to postgraduate teaching synthesis, MEDSIS teaching scores are summarized into a city-wide comparison. This summary is prepared as a paper report and mailed to the teacher. The teacher’s responsibility is to maintain this report for the Mini Teaching Dossier or the Full Formal Teaching Dossier. The Department does not keep the individual reports.
Graduate teaching evaluation scores and teaching scores from other faculties would be distributed to the teacher by those departments and faculties.
