PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
All full-time faculty members are expected to develop and update an individual professional development plan in collaboration with the supervisor. This plan should address the performance standards specifically and be based on a realistic set of objectives for the next evaluation period. It is expected that the plan will be consistent with departmental, college and system goals.
Given an “adequate but needs improvement” or “unsatisfactory” evaluation, the faculty member in consultation with the supervisor develops strategies for improvement. The Improvement Plan should consider the specific area(s) where concerns were noted, planned activities to correct the rating, dates for accomplishing each of the activities, and a post-review date as appropriate. The Plan should also list the resources that will be utilized to carry out the objectives of the Plan. While a consensual plan reflective of agreement between the evaluator and the faculty member and approved by the Academic/Learning Dean is desirable, it is recognized that this type of agreement may not be possible. In the event of a dispute, the Academic/Learning Dean will establish the Plan.
