This paper offers eight steps institutions of higher education can take to improve teaching through the use of student evaluations. They are: (1) situate the evaluation system firmly within the academic context; (2) strive for quick processing and return of forms; (3) help faculty interpret the evaluation results; (4) create opportunities for peer evaluation; (5) create a grace period in the evaluation of new faculty; (6) educate students regarding their role in an evaluation system; (7) stress the importance of midterm, as well as end-of-term, feedback; and (8) create opportunities for faculty to reflect on their teaching evaluations. Also provided are five related recommendations for teaching centers: first, provide teaching consultation services; second, provide assistance in interpreting students' written comments; third, produce materials that expose faculty to more of the research and thinking on student evaluations; fourth, use the power of stories in faculty development; and, fifth, influence the next generation in the form of teaching assistant training programs.
