Provisions Relating to Continuing Teaching Excellence and Professional Improvement after Permanent Status. After Permanent Status is granted to a Specially Funded Faculty member, it becomes the responsibility of each Permanent Status Faculty member to maintain his or her teaching excellence and pursue professional improvement. It will be the primary responsibility of the Permanent Status Faculty members as a group to maintain a program of professional improvement. The District will maintain a program of continuing evaluation of instruction to facilitate this process. To facilitate the continuing evaluation of permanent status Faculty members, every three years after the awarding of permanent status to a Faculty member, the Site Director shall review the teaching excellence and professional improvement of each Faculty member. When reason arises to question the continuing teaching excellence or professional improvement of a Permanent Status Faculty member, it shall be the policy to attempt to resolve the matter without taking formal disciplinary action. If the matter is not resolved informally, disciplinary action will be initiated. [See WAC 132K-24.]
