Department of Music Faculty Policy Manual:
ANNUAL REVIEW POLICY FOR NON-TENURE TRACK FACULTY

Annual review of our part-time and full-time non-tenure track faculty is an important means of evaluating our non-tenured instructional staff.  It is a measure of their effectiveness in the studio and classroom, as well as an instrument for all to understand and improve teaching.

The review will consist of five parts:

1. The review of updated curriculum vitae.

   This may be supplemented with lists, recordings, and hard copies of performances outside the university, recent publications, creative works, service both within the university or to the profession and any relevant materials thought to be of aid to the review.

2. The review of student teaching evaluations.
3. Classroom observation by a senior faculty member of the area in which non-tenure track faculty member is presently assigned.
4. The preparation of a summary report and recommendation by the area head or representative to the Department Chair.
5. A meeting with the Chair to review the summary report, where appropriate.
