Faculty Evaluation Criteria and Categories

 

               

General Principles
  • Evaluators must give regard to the fact that the college is a teaching institution.
     
  • The evaluation standard for reappointment is professional quality.
     
  • The evaluation standard for promotion is meritorious performance.
     
  • A higher order of quality may be required for promotion to professor.
     
  • The evaluation standards for Post-Tenure Teview, Alternative One are exemplary, meritorious, and not acceptable. 

 

 

Required for all candidates
 

 

Appendix A(1)

You will find a copy of Appendix A(1)in your copy of the  Collective Bargaining Agreement.  The CBA is also available on the MSCA web page <www.mscaunion.org>.   The  hyperlink below will take you directly to Appendix A(1).   My advice on using Appendix A1 is included below.
 

For all personnel actions you must include a copy of Appendix A(1) with your portfolio.  For Post-Tenure Review, you must include a statement that refers to Appendix A(1) criteria.  Make your selections clear.
 

  • Be very careful about choosing categories.  By checking or choosing a category on Appendix A(1), you are telling evaluators that this is what you want to be evaluated on.  If you have any doubt about your choice, consult an MSCA officer.

  • You must choose at least one item in each applicable category on Appendix A(1). 

  • You don't need to, and almost always shouldn't, check more than one item in each category.     

  • You have no obligation to choose any specific item.   

  • You may not be denied a personnel action "by the sole reason of not engaging in one or another."
