L&S Teaching Report
This document contains information and instructions for the Teaching Report in L&S. This page was last updated in January 2025 with information for academic year 2025-26.
L&S Teaching Report
The Teaching Report is designed to document the allocation of Faculty and renewable Academic Staff teaching in a department or program. Teaching & Learning Administration (TLA) requests this report each January for the upcoming academic year. TLA may also request an updated Teaching Report while evaluating short-term staffing requests.
The Teaching Report is an excel spreadsheet with three tabs:
- Teaching Loads: All Faculty and renewable Academic Staff who have teaching commitments to the department/program. Notes about non-standard appointments (e.g., Faculty with joint appointments, or part-time Academic Staff) are listed on this page).
- Teaching Assignments: Planned teaching assignments for the academic year.
- Course Releases: Planned course releases. For the purpose of this report, the term 'course release' includes any reduction to the instructor's standard teaching load, including extramural funding, sabbaticals/leaves, or course releases for administrative assignments.
Past copies of the Teaching Report are available in departmental Box folders (folder name = “48-#### Teaching Report”).
Annual Exercise for the Teaching Report:
- L&S Teaching & Learning Administration will email each department/program with a template spreadsheet.
- Departments/programs will fill out the spreadsheet, following the detailed instructions in the spreadsheet.
- Tip: Entering instructor names on 'Teaching Load' sheet populates a dropdown menu on the the 'Teaching Assignments' sheet. Using the dropdown menu on the "Teaching Assignments" sheet may make entering teaching assignments easier.
- Departments/programs will email their Teaching Reports for AY 2025-26 to teach.learn@ls.wisc.edu by February 12, 2025.
- L&S Teaching & Learning Administration will upload the report to Box (folder name = “48-#### Teaching Report”).
- Cathy Yu from L&S TLA will follow up with questions if needed.
