I. Statement of Philosophy

It is essential to ensure a consistently high quality of instruction with a supportive, growth- oriented environment for both students and faculty at Wharton County Junior College (WCJC). Consequently, it is the responsibility of the College not only to provide evaluation of faculty members, but also to provide faculty with systematic support for improvement of instruction.

All performance evaluations should foster building relationships based on trust, mutual commitment, and team effort. Intellectual honesty, rigor, and fairness are essential throughout the process. This system is designed so that individual faculty members are responsible for their own instructional improvement. Such a process ultimately will result in a better teaching and learning environment.

The faculty evaluation process is oriented toward both summative and formative ends and promoting excellence in teaching and learning. The intent is to foster individual development and reinforce best practices in instruction. This process serves as a mechanism for evaluating job performance; it is not intended to be a punitive or disciplinary instrument.

II. Purpose for Evaluation of Faculty Performance

The purpose of evaluating faculty performance includes:

1. Assess and promote excellence in the teaching/learning process. 2. Meet the educational needs of students and community by continually monitoring

instructional performance. 3. Provide a constructive framework for evaluating faculty performance by

identifying areas of strength and areas for improvement in classroom instruction and service to the institution.

4. Provide a basis for professional growth and development.

III. Components of the Faculty Evaluation System

Note – Part-time faculty are evaluated similarly to full-time faculty (similar instrument and process). Students evaluate part-time faculty using the Student Evaluation of Instruction forms as described below. The summary and aggregate score are used in an evaluative fashion by the part-time faculty member and supervisor. New PT faculty will also be evaluated the first semester via the Part-Time Instructor Appraisal Procedures – Lecture Classes or Part-Time Instructor Appraisal Procedures – Non-Lecture Classes (Appendix A and Appendix B). Regular PT faculty may be evaluated at any time using the Part-Time Instructor Appraisal Procedures.

1. Student Evaluation of Instruction Form

The responses on Student Evaluation of Instruction form (Appendix C) are correlated per item with the Faculty Self-Evaluation and the Supervisor Evaluation of Faculty. Each item on the evaluation is rated according to a Likert scale. The ratings on the Likert scale are as follows:

• Strongly Agree (5 pts) • Agree (4 pts) • Neutral (3 pts) • Disagree (2 pts) • Strongly Disagree (1 pt)

These student responses are compiled into a summary report and provided to each faculty member. Normally this occurs by the end of the spring semester each year. This report provides each faculty member with aggregate data (merging all student responses from all courses), as well as data sorted by course. Faculty members are to use these data as part of the self-evaluation process.

An opportunity for written comments from students is provided at the end of the Student Evaluation of Instruction form. Any student comments submitted will be included in the summary report given to each faculty member.

2. Faculty Self-Evaluation Form

Individual faculty members rate themselves by completing the Faculty Self-Evaluation form (Appendix D), as objectively and impartially as possible. Based upon self- evaluation findings or related areas of interest for self-improvement, the faculty member s h al l n ot e proposed professional development activities planned for the next academic year. Each item on the Faculty Self-Evaluation form is paired with an item from the Student Evaluation of Instruction form. In addition, faculty rate themselves using the same Likert scale.

Each faculty member shall list the professional development activities from the previous academic year and shall list the proposed activities for the next academic year.

3. Supervisor Evaluation of Faculty Form

The supervisor completes the Supervisor Evaluation of Faculty form (Appendix E) using information from various sources. These include, but are not limited to:

• summary reports for each faculty member (note – the aggregate mean response for each item on the Student Evaluation of Instruction form is printed on each Supervisor Evaluation of Faculty form. The summary report allows the supervisor to perform a gap analysis on each item by comparing the

Page 5: Faculty Evaluation System General Information

5

faculty member’s self-evaluation response to the aggregate mean of the students’ responses.),

• observation of instruction, • review of syllabi, • evaluation of other duties, • feedback from department heads or other supervisors, and • feedback from Online Faculty Evaluation Reports, if relevant.

The Supervisor Evaluation of Faculty form is broken into three parts. Part one corresponds to the items on the Student Evaluation of Instruction form and focuses on classroom instruction. Part two covers the accuracy and currency of course syllabi, and part three encompasses other duties such as committee work, cooperation, and administrative duties. The supervisor should include written comments in the evaluation of each instructor. These comments increase the usefulness of the evaluation to aid instructors in development and growth.

The supervisor schedules a formal face-to-face conference with each faculty member. The private meeting provides a forum for an open exchange of information. During this conference the supervisor discusses performance and plans for professional growth that is related to performance. Proposed action plans resulting from this conference are noted in the suggestions for professional development section and are reviewed during the instructor’s next evaluation.

Should the faculty member not agree with the supervisor's ratings, the faculty member has up to five working days to provide additional written comments listing and explaining his/her objections. These written comments are attached by the supervisor to the completed evaluation document, forwarded to the appropriate dean, and then forwarded to the VPI. At the discretion of the VPI, a follow up conference may be called between the instructor, the supervisor, and the VPI.

4. Faculty Evaluation Process for Courses Offered via Online Format

The evaluation criteria to assess the teaching and learning environment of courses offered via distance education is equivalent to that used to evaluate face-to-face instruction. Many online courses are evaluated in both fall and spring semesters, as are some face-to-face courses, since some courses are offered only in the spring semester.

Students enrolled in online courses complete the Student Evaluation of Online Instruction form (Appendix F). This form contains comparable evaluation criteria to the Student Evaluation of Instruction form.

The faculty member and supervisor receive an Online Faculty Evaluation Report by the end of the spring semester. The report includes student feedback from both the fall and spring semesters. The report provides an aggregate mean (merging all student responses

Page 6: Faculty Evaluation System General Information

6

from all online courses), as well as data sorted by course. The data from this report is also utilized to complete the Online Faculty Self-Evaluation form and the Supervisor Evaluation of Online Faculty form.

IV. Procedures for the Annual Review of Faculty Performance

1. Immediately following the formal conference, both parties sign the Supervisor Evaluation

of Faculty form. 2. A copy of the completed document is given to the instructor to aid in professional

development and enhancement of instruction and performance. 3. The supervisor forwards the original document to the appropriate dean, who then

fo rw a rd s to the VPI for review and approval. 4. Upon the VPI’s approval, signed copies of the evaluation document are sent

electronically by the VPI Office to the Division Chair (copy to the dean) to forward to the faculty member and the department head/program director if applicable.

5. Originals are forwarded to the Human Resources Office to be placed in the instructor’s personnel file.

V. Document Confidentiality

Evaluation documents and materials prepared and gathered in this process are treated as confidential and limited to authorized persons such as the supervisor, the faculty member being evaluated, the Dean, the VPI, and the President of the College, except as provided in the Texas Government Code, Chapter 552 (the Public Information Act).

VI. Maintenance of Evaluation Process

A Faculty Evaluation Committee is established each year to review the evaluation process and recommend modifications for improvement. This committee consists of ten members who serve staggering years. The VPI appoints one member from each instructional division; Faculty Council selects two faculty members, and the Director of Distance Education serves as a member. The VPI names the committee’s chairperson.

Timetables, based on the above recommendations and guidelines, are implemented and maintained by the VPI.

VII. Schedule of Faculty Evaluation Process for each Academic Year

Step 1. September: Full-time faculty members complete the Faculty Self-Evaluation form and forward to his/her supervisor.

Step 2. October 1 – November 30: Department Head/Program Director and Division

Page 7: Faculty Evaluation System General Information

7

Chair complete the Supervisor Evaluation of Faculty. Each instructor schedules a formal evaluation conference with his/her Division Chair.

Step 3. October – November: Formal face-to-face evaluation conferences are held by the

Division Chair (and DH/PD if desired). Discussion includes plans for professional development tied to evaluation.

Step 4. December 1: Division Chair sends completed forms to the appropriate dean for

review and approval. Step 5. December 15: Dean sends completed evaluation to the VPI.

Step 6. January – February: VPI reviews completed evaluation documents. Electronic

copies of signed evaluation documents are returned to the Division Chair (with copy to dean) who forwards to the instructor and DH/PD if applicable.
