ANNUAL FACULTY EVALUATION STANDARDS AND PROCEDURE

This document is intended as a guide for faculty in the annual evaluation process. Annual reviews serve to create a record of accomplishment of the faculty member for the previous calendar year, to generate constructive feedback, and to provide guidance in the promotion and tenure process where applicable. It is the responsibility of all participants in the evaluation process to review this document together with the UCF BOT- UFF CBA. As part of this evaluation process every faculty member is expected to complete and submit to the department chair the Annual Evaluation Form (Form A). This report will be accompanied by evidence such as student evaluations, copies of publications and manuscripts, paper presentations, and other appropriate documentation.

The exemplars in this document are possible activities that could be used to demonstrate that the standards have been met. It is not expected that all faculty members will do all activities listed but activities should be appropriate for each faculty member’s rank. Please note: Exemplars used to support standards may be drawn from a higher rank.

Visiting faculty members will be assigned a set of expectations corresponding to a rank level commensurate with the hiring expectations as agreed between the Department Chair and visiting faculty member.

08/20/2010 4 TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS

Teaching takes place in both academic courses and advisement. Effective teachers demonstrate expert knowledge in an appropriate area related to their academic discipline. They generate enthusiasm for learning, critical thinking, intellectual inquiry, and academic achievement and incorporate student feedback for programmatic improvements.

Evaluation of Teaching will include a review of the teaching activities, recognition, and contributions (see Teaching Effectiveness Exemplars) that the faculty member has made to the University, the College and the Department of Educational and Human Sciences. It is the expectation that each faculty member will meet class assignments for the scheduled number of sessions as published in the university calendar and that the Department Chair has approved this semester schedule. In addition, for each course assignment all faculty must provide and follow a syllabus that adheres to current university and college guidelines as well as provide an electronic version of the syllabus to the appropriate staff member in the department. It is expected that faculty will also a) include creativity or innovation in their course delivery; b) infuse evidence- based practices into course materials; c) include multicultural/culturally responsive objectives; and d) advise students.

Faculty may request special consideration should he/she experience an extenuating condition. Extenuating circumstances may include, but are not limited to: a) 1st time course delivery, b) multiple course preparations, c) teaching on multiple campuses, d) teaching large sections (sections that exceed the average class size in the college), e) last-minute course assignment, f) diseases/illnesses, g) catastrophic occurrences, and h) substitution for other faculty.

The following evaluation schema provides more specific direction for evaluation of faculty in the area of Reaching. Refer to “Research Effectiveness Exemplars” for specific examples by rank.

RESEARCH EFFECTIVENESS

Research includes traditional research inquiry, field-based inquiry, historical and policy analyses, and other systematic reviews of knowledge. It encompasses research, scholarship and creative activity.

Evaluation in the area of Research (and Scholarship and Creative Activity) will include a review of the scholarly activities, sponsored research, recognition, and contributions (see above description) that the faculty member has undertaken during the evaluation period. The critical standard for Research at the ranks of Assistant, Associate and Full Professor is the blind refereed scholarly journal article. Typically, acceptance/publication of at least one (1) refereed reviewed article per calendar year in a regional, national, or international scholarly journal (dependant on rank) is required to receive an OUTSTANDING, and publication in other refereed publications expected for ABOVE SATISFACTORY in this category. Articles may only be counted once, either when they are “in press” or when they are published. Faculty with higher than average research assignments through buy-outs or other agreements will have higher expectations. Submission of external funding may take the place of a refereed publication in a given year at the Department Chair’s discretion.

The following evaluation schema provides more specific direction for evaluation of faculty in the area of Research. Refer to “Research Effectiveness Exemplars” for specific examples by rank for those positions in which Research is an expected/required responsibility of the position.
