Annual Evaluation Process
Step by Step Faculty Evaluation Process
For detailed instructions on how to complete the self-evaluation, you can view the Faculty Performance Evaluation Guide. You can also review the Faculty Performance Evaluation Discussion Guide to view tips and best practices to ensure a productive meeting.
- All full-time faculty will complete a self-evaluation and all university-employed faculty will also complete a school-specific tool for measuring education activities and submit the forms to their Chair/Unit Head. Please see the school-specific forms below:
- Self-Evaluations
- Berkley School of Nursing (BSON)
- School of Health (SOH)
- School of Medicine and Biomedical Graduate Education (SOM and BGE)
- School-specific tool for measuring teaching activity (university-employed faculty only)
- Self-Evaluations
- OPTIONAL FOR EARLY CAREER FACULTY: Early career faculty may choose to have their professional contributions reviewed by the Department/Division/Program’s Performance Review Committee in a study section-like format, using well-defined anchors to measure performance. Evaluation of the early career faculty member’s performance by the Chair/Division/AD/Program Director will be informed by the work of the Performance Review Committee.
- The Chair or Unit Head will then meet with the faculty member to review their performance and set goals/expectations for the next year. As in previous years, review of the performance and setting goals/expectations of tenured faculty members will be conducted by the Department Chair or Academic Unit Head.
