Confidential Consultation

The Teaching and Learning Resource Center at Montclair State University promotes improvements in the art and craft of teaching. The Center never evaluates teachers and never shares information about individual teachers with those who do evaluate. The Center vigorously protects the confidentiality of all consultations with faculty members and teaching assistants.

• The Center does not release the names of anyone who seeks personal consultation on his or her teaching except when authorized to do so by the individual seeking consultation.

 
• The Center does not release information about a consultation or even about the existence of a consultation.

 
• Immediately after videotaping a class, the Center technician gives the videotape to the instructor, who has complete control over it. She or he can watch it alone, with a colleague, or with someone from the Center, keep it permanently or erase it. The Center neither makes nor keeps copies of tapes except when someone voluntarily donates a tape to the Center Library.
