Significant Service Sample Clauses

Significant Service. Members who have a reduced teaching load for “significant service” are expected to perform “significant service,” which must include “routine service” specified above and other university service activities, and may also include service to the community or the profession in ways that rely upon a Member’s professional expertise. All such service should either support and further the mission, goals or strategic plans of the department, college, or University, or address the needs of the community or the profession in ways that rely upon a Member’s professional expertise. Whatever the number of activities, however, “significant service” is characterized more by quality than by quantity, and it should make a significant contribution to the department, college, University, community, or profession. Active and engaged involvement in appropriate committees, participation in appropriate faculty searches, participation in important college and university governance structures, leadership in aspects of department, college, or university life, and work in professional organizations, among other things, are all examples of “significant service.” See Section N11. 3.2.2.1 below for a more extensive list of examples. These opportunities for “significant service” may vary across the University, but the magnitude of the “significant service” obligation does not vary significantly from unit to unit. Since in relation to total workload, “significant service” will be the approximate equivalent of teaching one additional class over the course of an academic year, the time devoted in a given year to “significant service” should be equivalent to the time devoted to teaching one three- to four-hour class.
Significant Service. 10.2.4.3 In addition to the provisions of Article 10.2.5.2.1, a Member’s teaching will be assessed through consideration of the following: 10.2.4.3.1 Innovation in teaching pedagogy as shown by, for example, the effective use of new teaching aids and techniques; 10.2.4.3.2 Scholarly activity related to teaching, including books, articles, films, or recordings; 10.2.4.3.3 Significant contributions to program development, curriculum innovation, or to modes and methodologies for delivery; and 10.2.4.3.4 Formal recognition of teaching excellence through receipt of University, regional, or national teaching awards.
Significant ServiceAll Members are obligated to effectively perform “significant service,” which demonstrates active engagement and productive leadership from examples of activities listed below. Specifically, tenured members are expected to demonstrate their participation in at least three activities in the one-year period under consideration. For NTE faculty, since “significant service” will be the approximate equivalent of teaching one additional class over the course of an academic year, the time devoted in a given year to “significant service” should be equivalent to the time devoted to teaching one three-to-four-hour class. All such service should either support and further the mission, goals or strategic plans of the department, college or University, or address the needs of the community or the profession in ways that rely upon a Member’s professional expertise. Whatever the number of activities, however, “significant service” is characterized more by quality than by quantity, and it should make a significant contribution to the department, college, University, community, or profession. Active and engaged involvement in appropriate committees, participation in appropriate faculty searches, participation in important college and university governance structures, leadership in aspects of department, college, or university life, and work in professional organizations, among other things, are all examples of “significant service.” These opportunities for “significant service” may vary across the University, but the magnitude of the “significant service” obligation does not vary significantly from unit to unit. In order to ensure that the activities performed will be considered ‘significant service,’ Members should communicate with their Chair and receive confirmation that an activity will indeed count as ‘significant’ before commencing participation in the activity. • Productively serving and/or chairing an active department, college, or university-level committee • Serving on the Faculty Senate • Directing and leading a study abroad program • Developing, coordinating, and/or supervising service learning courses/activities, internships, projects, and partnerships • Participation in university, college, and department activities such as language immersion days, campus open house, blood drive, or student orientation • Implementing a departmental or college initiative or study • Coordinating a substantial college, campus or community event or a policy or process change with...
