(See Appendix D) 4. An evaluator shall visit a class of each instructor. The faculty member and evaluator shall mutually agree upon the date the visit is to be made and the objectives for that instructional session. 5. The faculty member is encouraged to provide to the evaluator a written summary that reviews the faculty member’s activities and accomplishments in teaching, curriculum development, research/creative achievement, and/or relevant service. 6. Each non-tenured faculty member shall distribute student evaluation forms (See Appendices B.1 and B.2) to all classes each semester. The purpose of conducting these surveys is to provide the faculty member a tool to analyze his/her teaching performance based on student responses. The results of the student evaluations, excluding those for which a grade has not yet been assigned, will be forwarded to the faculty member and the evaluator for inclusion in the faculty member’s total evaluation report. 7. After the classroom visit is completed the evaluator shall hold a conference with the faculty member to discuss the faculty member’s in-class teaching performance, results of the student evaluations, syllabi and/or course outlines for course taught, strengths and areas of improvement, contributions to the department, and professional growth using the appropriate evaluation form (See Appendix C). At this meeting, the faculty member may voluntarily make available any other information pertinent to the evaluation process. 8. On or before ninety (90) days prior to the end of the academic year, the evaluator shall file a report on the evaluation and conference of each non tenured faculty member under his/her jurisdiction with any recommendations that are deemed pertinent with the appropriate Vice President. The Vice President will then forward his/her recommendations for approval or denial for continued contractual service to the President.
