YEAR 2: Dean Evaluation (Spring)

Have Your Dean Evaluate You for YEAR 2 Spring

You are encouraged to meet with your Chair as often as you need to build a peer support system. They're here to help!

Schedule an Evaluation

Your Dean will request that you provide a selection of possible evaluation times and request a time as their schedule allows.

Tip: Request your times as early as possible, even if the evaluation will be late in the semester, especially if you prefer to choose the lesson they will evaluate. 

If you are teaching faculty, your Dean should observe a class session (modality of your choice, as schedules allow). If you are service or reassigned faculty, you can have your Dean evaluate  any primary work activity. That might be a workshop or one-time lesson, but it might be a consultation, project, curated collection, strategic programming, curriculum development, etc. It can be a regularly scheduled course session if you are also teaching. 

*Mentors, Chairs, and Deans do not have to observe/evaluate the same content. 

Share Files

Choose the Evaluation form that applies to you and what you would like your Dean to observe. Create a new copy.  Dean's Evaluation of Instruction Your Dean will evaluate all Critical Teaching Behaviors Dean's Evaluation of Primary Work Activity (usually Service or reassigned faculty) Select 4-5 Evaluation Areas that are most appropriate for the work activity that will be evaluated.  Fill in information about you and what your Dean will evaluate (Evaluation Information and Style sections) Share the document with your Dean so they can provide feedback! Your Dean may prefer that they own the original document, in which case they should share the final signed version with you as a .pdf.

Best Practice: Leave the document as a Google Doc for easiest sharing. 

Complete the Evaluation

NOVEMBER 10 is the deadline to complete Fall Observations and Evaluations.

Post-Evaluation Reflection

You may wish to meet with your dean again to discuss their feedback, though it is not required.  Remember that their feedback is part of the basis for your IDP reflection. Your Dean will sign the evaluation (not a PIN number-style electronic signature) and send you a final copy as a .pdf by NOVEMBER 18. 

Best Practice: Take this opportunity to update your Chair on the projects you are involved with!

Best Practice: Add to your IDP as you go! Remember to store this observation file in an 'IDP Materials' folder; you will upload the entire folder contents to your IDP later.
