Common use of Informal Conferences Clause in Contracts

Informal Conferences. When a Xxxx has concerns about an adjunct employee based on measures other than observations of instruction, the Xxxx (or designee) may discuss these concerns with the adjunct employee and suggest strategies to improve performance. Such measures include, but are not limited to, Student Opinionnaires of Instruction (SOIs), verbal or written complaints, and or personal observations. Though SOIs are recognized as helpful tools for professional growth and reflection, SOIs will not be used as the sole method to evaluate the pedagogical effectiveness of an adjunct employee.
