self-evaluation template
We have a MS Word form to use to type in the probationer's self evaluation organized by the college-wide tenure criteria.
Class observations should be based on the six sub-criteria of the Faculty Effectiveness tenure criteria. An individual observer can choose to focus on one or two sub-criteria for one class observation, as long as all the sub-criteria are observed during the course of the academic year.
In-Person Observations
- TRC recommends using the updated class observation form from the Teaching Effectiveness course.
- Narratives are still welcome, but should focus on the six-sub-criteria of the Faculty Effectiveness tenure criteria.
Online Observations
- Guidelines for Observing Online Instruction from Instructional Design
- TWC should use either the full or modified PLAID rubric for observing online and remote courses
