检讨级别
Each 阿尔图纳 College faculty member holds an appointment in one of the academic divisions of the College, currently: Arts and Humanities; Mathematics and Natural Sciences; Business and Engineering; Education, Human Development and Social Sciences; and the Library. 的 initial review of a candidate for tenure and/or promotion within 阿尔图纳 College takes place at the academic division level. 具体的标准是在学术部门层面提出和评估的. Each academic division may therefore further define the specific criteria for tenure and promotion in a manner compatible with the general standards set by the University and 阿尔图纳 College. 的 大学-level of review will bring broader faculty and administrative judgment to bear and will also monitor general standards of quality and equity of academic division policies and procedures.
任期和晋升标准
教师 members of 阿尔图纳 College become eligible for tenure and/or promotion when they fulfill the norms specified in 的 宾西法尼亚 State University policy (AC23). 除了阿尔图纳图书馆的教职员工, the criteria for this evaluation embrace three distinct but interrelated areas: the scholarship of teaching and learning; the scholarship of research and creative accomplishments; and service and the scholarship of service to the University, 社会, 以及职业. Evaluation of librarians includes a fourth criterion: librarianship ability and effectiveness as detailed in 晋升及任期 criteria for the University Libraries. 阿尔图纳学院重视这些领域的持续活动.
A candidate for tenure and/or promotion to Associate Professor must meet the criteria described below in the areas of 1) teaching; 2) research and creative accomplishments; and 3) service. 的 candidate is further expected to demonstrate excellent achievement in at least one of the categories of teaching or research and creative accomplishments, 或者说在这两方面都有很好的表现. 类似的, 晋升为副馆长的候选人必须符合指定的图书馆工作标准, 2)教学, 3)研究和创造性成就, 4)服务, and are further expected to demonstrate excellent achievement in at least one of the categories of librarianship or research and creative accomplishments 或者说在这两方面都有很好的表现. 按照AC23, the presumption is that a positive tenure decision for an assistant professor or librarian will be sufficient to warrant promotion to associate professor or librarian. 在特殊情况下, if a committee or administrator believes strongly that an individual should be tenured but not promoted, 委员会或行政人员有责任说明为什么不需要晋升.
晋升为教授或图书管理员, candidates must demonstrate significant accomplishments beyond those presented at the time of promotion to Associate Professor or Associate Librarian. 候选人必须表现出作为一名教师的持续有效性, 适当的, librarian; ongoing service to the University, 社会, 以及职业; and a level of research and/or creative accomplishments sufficient to earn a national reputation for excellence.
阐述终身任职和晋升的三个基本标准
- 教与学的学问. 根据我们的使命, 阿尔图纳学院高度重视教师的教学和咨询作用. 教师必须对教学有持续的承诺,特别是, 必须成功地向学生传达他们的专业知识. 这种承诺和沟通对教育过程至关重要. Effectiveness in this area will be measured primarily by input from students and faculty colleagues in the form of course and advising evaluations, 同行评价, 学生面试, 以前学生的来信, 评估课程大纲及其他课程资料, 以及其他能够证明候选人教学和建议有效性的方法.
- 研究和创造性成就的学术研究. 教员的活力, 无论是集体还是个人, 取决于正在进行的研究或创造性的成就. 这些成就通常通过出版、展览或表演来展示. Additional demonstrations of achievement in this area may include presentations at professional meetings, 获得资助, 参加专业研讨会和讲习班, external letters of assessment from leaders of the profession who are knowledgeable in the candidate’s field, 利用候选人的专业知识开展拓展活动, 以及新课程和学术项目的发展.
阿尔图纳学院鼓励创新, 教师在这些领域实现专业成长和成就的跨学科途径. Any demonstration of achievement in these areas should ultimately produce or enhance recognition of a faculty member’s expertise by members of the profession outside of 十大网投平台信誉排行榜. 因为教学职责的要求,也因为校园的限制, quantitative expectations for the research and scholarly output of 阿尔图纳 College faculty must be different from that of faculty at locations which emphasize the research mission. 然而,类似的质量期望应该适用于所有地点. - 对大学、社会和专业的服务和奖学金. 阿尔图纳 College views a record of service as evidence of the candidate’s commitment to furthering the missions of the College and the University. 这种服务通常采取委员会工作的形式, 参与治理机构, 行政支持工作, 学生团体服务, 并为公众提供专业相关服务. 阿尔图纳 College expects that this record of service will eventually incorporate positions of leadership at various levels: academic division, 大学, 大学, 以及专业组织. Elected positions of major responsibility are viewed as evidence that a candidate’s service has earned the esteem of that candidate’s colleagues.
