TRESTLE Network: KU leads the TRESTLE network, which has emerged through the NSF-funded TRESTLE project (a BVA project) and has now expanded to include faculty from over 25 institutions. TRESTLE fills a much-needed niche for faculty and instructors who are leading course and curricular transformation efforts within their department, providing community, social support, opportunities for collaboration, and a variety of resources to support the work. 

TEval: The TEval project is another multi-institutional BVA project that is leading the development and implementation of better systems for documenting, evaluating and rewarding faculty teaching. The TEval project builds on KU’s Benchmarks Framework, a multi-dimensional rubric for formative and summative evaluation of faculty teaching contributions in and out of the classroom.
