What kinds of evaluations of my teaching can I expect?

You can expect faculty evaluations to occur from your first class throughout your teaching career. Part time, one-year appointments, and tenure-track faculty should plan on quarterly student evaluations. Tenured faculty participate in their own evaluation process every three years as outlined in the HCEA Agreement.

Do tenure-track instructors have special procedures and requirements?

Yes. The HCEA Agreement (negotiated faculty contract) spells out the tenure process in section 400. In general, each new faculty member will have his or her own tenure working committee. This committee will develop a plan for evaluations and class visits and will report regularly to the Tenure Review Committee. In addition, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, one of the Deans of Instruction, your division chair, and department coordinator may also contact you about observing one or more of your classes. Class evaluations will be taken near the quarter’s end. You should discuss these procedures with your tenure working committee or your department coordinator ahead of time so that both of you and the college will find these efforts rewarding.
