The purpose of this paper is to construct multi-dimensional indicators for university faculty’s teaching evaluation, including course evaluation, teacher evaluation (teaching dimension), teacher promotion (teaching dimension) and the excellent teaching award to reveal the importance of teaching evaluation indicators and grass-roots communication in higher education. Research methods include literature review, symposia, questionnaire and a meeting of citizen deliberation. After a close comparison between several universities abroad and certain universities in Taiwan, it was found that the former had a broader definition of teaching, more pluralistic indicators and sources of teaching evaluation, and more diversified items of evaluation than the latter. A national university in Taiwan was chosen as a case study for the feasibility of the practice of foreign universities. Based on a questionnaire of the university’s students, faculty, and alumni, and a following meeting of citizen deliberation, it was found that respondents to the questionnaire all opted for a slight revision of the current teaching evaluation system of the university. They recommended that more indicators of teaching evaluation should be used though they considered most of the added indicators to be optional instead of obligatory. Several conclusions were made and several recommendations were proposed to educators and academia for reference.
