Classroom Observation and Evaluations. Between week 6 and 12 of the fall semester, each of the three members of the ITRC shall complete an observation and evaluation of classroom performance. Each member of the ITRC will contact the candidate to schedule a day and time for the observation. The candidate must be given at least five (5) days notice prior to the date of observation. The candidate should also be given a few different dates to choose from to allow for exams or other classroom activities that would not be a good measure for evaluation. Members of the ITRC may not all attend and evaluate the exact same class session, but instead must each evaluate a different date and time, and ideally, a different course being taught. If the candidate is teaching an online course one of the ITRC members may choose to evaluate the online course instead of a traditional face-to-face class. Prior to each classroom observation the candidate is encouraged to meet briefly with each observer to discuss his/her course topics or provide lesson plans or other materials for the observation session.
Classroom Observation and Evaluations. A. Notice of intent to observe a class shall be given to adjunct faculty members at least seven calendar days in advance. The College retains the right to conduct observations without notice when it has reasonable cause to do so. The Notice will include the criteria for the observation.
