PROCESS FOR TEACHING OBSERVATIONS Clause Samples

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. 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. Once the Bargaining Unit Member receives their assessment, they will be provided the opportunity to meet with the evaluator to discuss the assessment and will then have the opportunity to provide written feedback regarding the assessment within two weeks of meeting with the evaluator. The final report will be submitted to the Bargaining Unit Member and the Evaluator and the Office of Academic Affairs and become part of the Bargaining Unit Member’s personnel file.
