<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">All faculty are evaluated at least annually by their Division Assistant Dean.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Multiple sources of data are used for faculty evaluations. At a minimum, annual evaluations are based on faculty self evaluation, student evaluation, and Division Assistant Dean evaluation. Other data, such as peer evaluation or evaluation by outside consultants, can be sought at the discretion of the Division Assistant Dean and/or the faculty.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">To prepare for an annual evaluation, faculty members submit to Division Assistant Deans the following: 1) self evaluation; 2) student/course evaluations; 3) proposed future activity goals 4) updated C.V.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">New faculty members are evaluated at the end of the first semester as well as the end of the year; the first semester evaluation typically is mentoring and counseling in nature.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Graduate Assistants (GA), whether teaching or performing other College of Nursing work such as research or practice, also are evaluated annually by their Division Assistant Dean or other appropriate supervisor. If appropriate, student evaluations are submitted to the Division Assistant Dean to be considered in the evaluation.</p>

     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The period of evaluation typically is from March of the previous year to March of the current year in line with an approximately 12-month period.</li>

     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">In advance of the meeting, the faculty member completes the Annual Faculty Activity Review form (and attaches copies of all course/student evaluations and an updated CV); collects and supplies any other documents the faculty desires to be included in the evaluation (e.g., peer evaluations, other documentation); and emails the packet to his/her Division Assistant Dean, who will consider the material and provide numeric ratings of the faculty member’s performance relative to each role function and a brief narrative evaluation summary. </li>

     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The faculty member and Division Assistant Dean meet and discuss the evaluative materials presented in the Annual Faculty Activity Review form and set goals for the next academic year as well as plans for achieving the goals. In collaboration with their Division Assistant Dean, faculty members develop annual goals that are congruent with the CON strategic plan, and, as appropriate, consistent with plans for promotion and tenure (See Appendix A, Standards for Promotion and Tenure).</li>

     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Division Assistant Deans provide faculty members guidance to improve in areas which have been identified as deficient or needing improvement.</li>

     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The final written evaluation is dated and signed by the faculty member and Division Assistant Dean.</li>

     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Faculty members have the opportunity to respond in writing to their evaluation. </li>

     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Following the meeting, the Division Assistant Dean provides a copy of the signed evaluation materials to the faculty member, and places the original documents in the faculty member's permanent file in the Dean’s Office.</li>
