Performance Evaluation

Part-time faculty, including dual credit faculty, who teach on the TSC campus and on off-campus instructional sites, follow an instructor appraisal process that includes:

• Instructional observation - Effective classroom instruction is at the core of TSC's mission. One way to measure how effectively faculty are fostering innovative learning opportunities is through classroom observations. As evaluators, Divisional Deans, Department Chairs or Program Directors conduct at least one instructional observation per annual evaluation cycle.
• Professional responsibility assessment
• Student evaluations

Part-time faculty appraisals center solely on instructional duties and student evaluations, which is more appropriate for part-time faculty. All part-time faculty are evaluated a minimum of one time per academic year, typically by the Department Chair or Program Director. The part-time faculty appraisal packet is available in Watermark Faculty Success Module.
