  1. FACULTY EVALUATION Larry Abele Florida State University June 2005

  2. Faculty Evaluation • Why? • What? • Who? • How? • Now what?

  3. Why? • To foster a culture of accomplishment • To assess progress toward promotion and tenure and sustained performance • To inform everyone of expectations • To assist colleagues who may need improvement • To distribute merit increases • To nominate for awards

  4. What Should Be Evaluated? • First, you should evaluate what has been assigned. Typically, • Teaching • Research • Service • Second, consider the full range of activities in each area to insure consistency across all of those being evaluated. • Third, a standardized presentation with page limits works well and can be shared among faculty.

  5. Triangulation Approach Chair Discussion “Ranking” Faculty Member Evaluation Committee Materials

  6. How? • Almost an infinite number of options. • Set the parameters and “scores” first. • Avoid using scales that are not attainable in either direction, e.g., don’t set a 0 to 100 if no one will ever get close to 0 or 100. • As objectively as possible and widely shared. • Focus on documented contributions. • Be specific, avoiding extreme categorization.

  7. Now What? • Virtually every process will yield a ranking or a distribution of salary funds • Almost no process addresses the needs of those colleagues who may need improvement. • Evaluations should therefore be followed by written “contracts” outlining expected improvements or changes in assignments.
