PROCESS FOR TEACHING OBSERVATIONS. Typically teaching observations will be arranged in advance. If a particular day is not appropriate, the Bargaining Unit Faculty Member has the right to request and receive an observation on a different day. Where appropriate, the Bargaining Unit Faculty Member shall provide class materials, such as syllabus and examples of course assignments, to the evaluator and explain any unusual aspects of the course; the observer will be added to the course site in the University’s course management system; for library faculty, librarians will provide any teaching materials, handouts, lesson plans, etc. used for the specific teaching observation. The observer will use the agreed-upon teaching observation form to provide a written report of the observation that evaluates teaching effectiveness; the report will be submitted to the Bargaining Unit Member and the Office of Academic Affairs and become part of the Bargaining Unit Member’s personnel file.
