Pre-tenure Faculty Professional Development Plans. Professional Development plans are an integral part of pre-tenure review processes and are to be developed by all tenure-track faculty members in consultation with the appropriate Academic Supervisor and approved by the Unit Manager. The Professional Development Plan is intended to assist faculty in balancing their areas of responsibility and maintaining a focused plan to assure adequate professional development. The written Professional Development plan documents an agreement between the faculty member and the Unit Manager defining the faculty member’s plan for professional activity and growth. Pre-tenure Professional Development plans provide a basis for tenure-track faculty to be assured that they are developing in directions that will be appropriate for tenure award. The Professional Development Plan provides Management with the opportunity to guide faculty development in directions that will benefit the institution. Development of a pre-tenure Professional Development plan, and review of success in implementation, is one component of the process for promotions and tenure award.
