The employee then receives the Employee s Evaluation Progress Sheet which includes salary increment recommendations. Technical Assistants are evaluated by the Department Chair and the Assistant Academic Dean annually. To ensure that the goals and objectives of the faculty member s performance evaluation reflect the recommendations of accrediting agencies, program review, and planning documents. Full-time faculty are evaluated once a year for each of the first four years and once every three years thereafter, unless evaluation is required for rank advancement. Part-time faculty are evaluated using the Student Evaluation Section and Supervisor Evaluation Section of the teaching faculty process.
Portfolios are optional for part-time faculty.
Part-time faculty are evaluated in each of the first four semesters at ECC, and thereafter at the discretion of the academic department, but at least every three years. A major concern with the teaching faculty evaluation is that once the faculty member reaches professor status, the evaluation process often ends. Faculty members should be evaluated every three years after reaching the professor rank. Also, several felt that the peer evaluation was weak because faculty members being evaluated can choose whomever they want to complete the peer review section. Due to the need for development of all staff, the Teacher Resource Centers were replaced with Centers for Professional Development.
