To assess the impact of these efforts, the SUCCEED faculty development teamdesigned and administered a survey of faculty teaching practices and attitudes toward teaching in19971 and administered it again in 1999 2. This paper summarizes the responses to survey itemsin which faculty rated the importance of effective teaching to themselves, to faculty colleagues,and to campus administrators, and the importance of effective and innovative teaching in theirinstitution’s faculty reward system.In 1999
