Honors Honors or other special recognition of the quality of a candidate's teaching should be listed in tabular form, as detailed in the College Manual. The candidate may include supplementary materials to demonstrate teaching preparation, effectiveness of pedagogical methodology, and pedagogical creativity. Supplementary materials should demonstrate the range, variety, and levels of courses the candidate has taught. The Department Committee will evaluate the quality of instruction in keeping with the College Manual s six evaluative categories of outstanding, excellent, very good, good, fair, and poor based on the evidence submitted. Evaluators should also take note of any suggestions for syllabi revisions found in Other Materials section.
Student evaluations are indicators of student perceptions.
The evaluations should be judged in the context of other information and should not be the sole basis for evaluating teaching effectiveness or for making fine-grained distinctions. The student evaluation averages mentioned below are given as general guidelines only. Course materials should be assessed for their appropriateness in relation to the current state of knowledge in the field. Outstanding The candidate will be judged outstanding in instruction if the clear impression garnered by the Committee from the evidence submitted is that the candidate s teaching and contributions to instruction are out of the ordinary . The candidate may have published a textbook, received a training contract, received a teaching award, or the equivalent.
