> Do you know any case where a hiring decision was decided by somebody being thought to be bad at teaching? Personally no, but I'm sure they exist. For my debarment, hiring decisions are usually unanimous or with a few salty holdouts, but overall we only hire if the vote is overwhelming. If it seems split, we hold off. > How does a hiring committee evaluate somebody's teaching quality? The way we do it, during the on-campus interview, the candidate gives a lecture of their choice in front of a class of students. We record it and observe. Students submit feedback. You can also use recommendation letters. We require at least 3.
