Common use of Criteria for Confirmation of Appointment Clause in Contracts

Criteria for Confirmation of Appointment. (i) Decisions concerning confirmation of appointment shall be made primarily on the basis of evidence of teaching effectiveness, or effectiveness in carrying out the primary duties as defined in the appropriate job description. (ii) In addition, unless effectiveness in teaching or performing other primary duties (as defined in the appropriate job description) is well above the norm, evidence of professional development and conscientious performance of assigned non-primary duties will be required. A level of professional development and performance of non-teaching duties at the norm defined in Article 12.2(f) shall normally be required, but failure to reach the norm in one (1) of these two (2) areas may be compensated by performance or development well above the norm in the other. (iii) Evidence of professional development may be found in some combination of, but not necessarily all of: (1) selection, use and/or generation of course materials, showing intellectual development from year to year; (2) academic work, both course-related and otherwise, published or in progress; (3) formal study undertaken while employed at Carleton University; (4) activity in instructional development, at any level.
