About the tool 

The 3-dimensional, multi-aspect PROFFORMANCE Assessment tool evaluates HE teachers’ performance providing data for multi-level decision-making on the quality enhancement of teaching and learning.  

 The uniqueness of the PROFFORMANCE assessment tool is that it is complex and comprehensive while flexible and adaptive as well. 
1. It covers a wide range of teachers’ roles, tasks, competencies in 6 thematic areas: course design, teaching and learning, student assessment, research and impact, professional development, organisation. 
2. It includes special priorities in 4 areas: digitalization, inclusion and equity, internationalization, and sustainability, all focusing on HE teachers' tasks related to teaching and learning in these areas. 
3. It examines teachers’ performance from 3 points of view: the teacher self, peer colleagues, and students which can be compared to provide a comprehensive picture of teachers' performance. 
 
The speciality of the PROFFORMANCE tool is that it serves as a navigator and draws teachers' and institution leaders' attention and gives guidance on how to embed these priorities in the teaching and learning activities and how to support teachers to develop their competencies in these areas.
