教师 Evaluation
的 教师 Handbook has established policies and processes related to the review of full-time and part-time faculty. 的 目标 of the merit review process are to:
Help each faculty member set short and long-term 目标 that are realistic and concrete in the areas of teaching, scholarship/artistic achievement, 和服务.
Provide a basis for 评估 past performance, professional development, and growth in light of the established needs of their Department and 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 University.
Supplement and, in some cases, 量化 information provided in the faculty member’s curriculum vitae for decisions that impact salary, 促销活动, and other faculty benefits.
In preparation of the merit review process, full-time faculty members complete the Summary of Proposal Activities (SPA) form and submit it to their Chair by the announced deadline named in the Administrative Calendar. 的 Office of Academic Affairs is currently working with the 教师 Senate to develop the process of triennial review for tenured faculty as adopted by the 教师 Assembly.
In addition to the merit review process described above, during the probationary period, tenure-track faculty also undergo formal and informal reviews by their department. Tenure-track faculty should consult their Department Chair to discuss the timeline and process for these reviews.
访问ing full-time faculty members who taught in the Fall semester but will not be teaching at 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 University in the next academic year do not need to complete a SPA but will be evaluated for their Fall teaching using the part-time faculty evaluation form and review process (see next section).
Evaluation of Part-Time 教师
Department Chairs evaluate all part-time faculty in their department every semester. Upon reviewing teaching evaluations for the previous semester, Department Chairs submit the Part-Time 教师 Evaluation Form 博士. Duane Coltharp, AVPAA-CFD.
Promotion and Tenure
的 Commission on Promotion and Tenure has both an evaluation role and an oversight role. 的 primary oversight function is that the Commission will participate, jointly with the Administration, in the review of departmental and library 促销活动 and tenure 标准 and procedures.
的 Commission on Promotion and Tenure reviews every candidate for 促销活动 and/or tenure and makes a recommendation to the President of the University. In making its review and formulating its recommendations, the Commission shall have as its primary concern the maintenance of fair and objective standards for peer-review decisions across the University. Additional information about the Commission can be found in the 教师 Handbook (Chapter 2: 教师 Governance Structure).
的 Commission on Promotion and Tenure holds two open meetings per year -- in April and August -- to discuss the 促销活动 and tenure process, 标准, and suggestions for presenting materials. Early career faculty members are encouraged to refer specific questions about the 促销活动 and tenure process and the schedule and 标准 for formal and informal reviews to their Department Chair.
