University of Central Florida College of Health and Public Affairs Department of Health Professions Annual Faculty Evaluation Standards and Procedures1

The purpose of this document is to provide standards and procedures to evaluate the annual performance of faculty in the Department of Health Professions, including tenured professors, tenure-earning professors, instructors and visiting faculty.

General Guidelines

Faculty, as academic and clinical professionals, are expected to contribute to the orderly and effective functioning of the University of Central Florida, the College of Health and Public Affairs and the Department of Health Professions. For satisfactory performance, all faculty are expected to create and maintain collegial relationships; show due respect for the beliefs and opinions of others, refrain from exploitation and harassment; maintain currency in and contribute to their appropriate discipline. Performance of these professional responsibilities, as well as the specific duties and responsibilities included in written annual assignments from the Chair of the Department of Health Professions, will be considered in evaluating faculty. While instructional activities, office hours, and other duties are responsibilities that require performance at a specific time and place, other non-scheduled activities may be appropriately performed in a manner and place determined by the faculty member, with the agreement of the Chair of the Department of Health Professions. Additionally, when formulating one’s goals, one is expected to consider one’s rank and FTE assignment(s) and state their goals in objective, behavioral and measurable terms.

Faculty are evaluated by examining contributions, competence, and scholarship in teaching, research and service within and beyond the University. All relevant areas are considered in the evaluation including consideration of the faculty member’s rank, academic assignment, and personal goals as delineated in the faculty member’s three-year plan.

Procedures

Each faculty member will develop a three year plan which reflects expected performance in the areas of teaching, research, service and other areas as applicable. New hires will develop one- year plans with the assistance of the appropriate Program Director(s) and/or the Department Chair. The initial one-year plans will form the basis for subsequent three-year plans as the incumbent advances. Goals should reflect performance at or above that expected for their academic rank as described in the accompanying Department of Health Professions documents. Three-year plans can be revised annually, but revision of the plan for the current year can only be done with the permission of the Chair of the Department of Health Professions. The Chair of the Department of Health Professions and the individual Program Directors jointly recognize a responsibility to provide adequate assignment time for faculty members to achieve distinction in the goals identified in their three-year plan.

At the beginning of each academic year, faculty will negotiate with the Chair the percentage of their workload assigned to each of the areas of teaching, research, service, and other areas as

1 Approved by tenured faculty of department Feb. 1, 2006

Revised 1/06 applicable. All faculty members shall have goals for accomplishments in all designated evaluation areas unless their academic assignment does not include an area. Faculty in clinical practice as part of their assignment may reflect in their three-year plan and/or annual review the unique characteristics of their faculty activities. At the end of the academic year, the annual faculty evaluation will be based on achievements of goals specified in that year’s section of the faculty member’s three-year plan.

Exemplars of performance

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 will do all activities listed but activities should be appropriate for the faculty member’s rank. Some of the exemplars used to support standards may be drawn from a higher rank.

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

Evidence for teaching effectiveness is provided through student and peer evaluations and teaching portfolios when available.

 Student evaluations: Ratings on standardized University forms or other evaluation forms.

Revised 1/06 Annual Evaluation Standards and Procedures 5  Peer evaluations: a) Evaluation of course syllabi, study materials, learning experiences, lectures, bibliographies, and audiovisual materials; and b.) Clinical and classroom teaching using departmental/school forms.

 Teaching portfolios: Evaluation of course syllabus; examples of students work, examples of lectures or seminar-facilitation notes or web-based/CD-ROM based materials

Evaluation of Teaching will include a review of the teaching activities, recognition, and contributions (see above descriptions) that the faculty member has made to the University, the Department of Health Professions, and the individual professional programs.

It is the expectation that each each faculty member will meet class/ clinic assignments for the scheduled number of sessions as published in the university calendar and semester schedule, including the final examination period, unless a request to cancel a meeting during the final examination period has been approved by the Department Chair. In addition, for each course/clinic assignment all faculty must provide and follow a syllabus that adheres to current university guidelines as well as provide an electronic version of the syllabus to the appropriate staff member in the department.

Documentation of this (basic expectations) and other teaching accomplishments is most easily achieved through presentation of a teaching portfolio which may include any or all of the following:

. Statement of teaching and advising duties and responsibilities . Enrollment information on types of courses, advising load . Statement of philosophy of teaching . Description of materials and methods used in achieving desired learning outcomes, including efforts to improve quality and efeciveness of teaching as well as the integration of evidenced-based research into course content . Artifacts of Teaching such as: o Evaluation of course syllabus o Examples of students work, o Examples of lectures, seminar-facilitation notes, or web-based/CD-ROM based materials

Revised 1/06 Annual Evaluation Standards and Procedures 9 RESEARCH EFFECTIVENESS

Research effectiveness encompasses both interpretive and empiric analytic paradigms. Systematic inquiry reflects the equal valuing of both paradigms and includes traditional research inquiry, clinical practice inquiry, historical and policy analyses, and systematic reviews of knowledge. It encompasses research, scholarship and creative activity.

Instructors ,Visiting faculty and other faculty who do not have an assignment in the category of Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity will not be evaluated in this area.

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 descriptions) that the faculty member has undertaken during the evaluation period, The evaluation process will include review of faculty documentation of research and creative activity, including such evidence as letters of acceptance for journal articles, manuscripts, grant applications, and papers accepted for presentation or presented at professional conferences. All faculty who receive an assignment in research must demonstrate a coherent research agenda with ongoing work in progress and adhere to ethical principles in the development, conduct and dissemination of research. Tenured faculty should demonstrate a sustained research agenda with same characteristics. The critical standard for Research at the ranks of Assistant, Associate and Full Professor is the peer-reviewed, scholarly journal article. Typically, acceptance/publication of at least one peer reviewed article in a scholarly journal is required to receive an OUTSTANDING, and publication in other peer reviewed publications expected for ABOVE SATISFACTORY in this category. Faculty with higher than average research assignments through buy-outs or other agreements will have higher expectations. Submission of a competitive grant may take the place of a publication in a given year.

The following schema provides more specific direction for evaluation of faculty in the area of Research. Items may not be used more than once unless specifically indicated.

I. OUTSTANDING In order to achieve an OUTSTANDING evaluation in Research , a faculty member must have an established program of research and an article accepted (in press) or published in a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. In addition the faculty member must have at least two of the following:

1. Additional peer reviewed publications accepted 2. A peer reviewed presentation accepted at a national/international conference 3.

Evaluation in the area of Professional and Community Service will include a review of the service activities, recognition, and contributions (see above descriptions) that the faculty member makes to the university, college, department, profession, and local, state, regional, national and international communities. The evaluation process will include review of faculty documentation of Professional and Community Service, including such evidence as brochures or programs identifying presentations and workshops; a description of committee activity (e.g., name of committee, number of meetings attended, role on and contribution to the committee); consultant reports or products; and a description of substantial contribution to the effective functioning of a degree program. Typically paid consultations or other activities for which the faculty member receives payment should not be counted toward productivity in this area. The following schema provides specific direction for the evaluation of faculty in the area of Professsional and Community Service.

I. OUTSTANDING To achieve an OUTSTANDING in the area of Professional and Community Service faculty must meet the standards to be considered SATISFACTORY, adequately complete the usual service assignments made by the Chair of the Department of Health Professions during the evaluation period,, and readily respond to the service needs of the University, the profession, and the community by engaging in at least three of the following, one of which must require a leadership role:
