Observation+Schedule

All non-tenured faculty, including adjuncts here less than ten semesters, must be observed each semester. The Department Personnel and Budget Committee (P&B) has for many years followed the practice of assigning full-time faculty to the panel of observers. For specific assignments, see other side. The contract states that observations should be done in the first ten weeks of the semester. At least, twenty-four hours notice must be given the faculty member before an observation is held. Also, according to the contract, observation reports should be written within one week of the observation and post-observation conference held within the next two weeks. It is particularly important to follow this timetable for new adjuncts and for any observation about which there may be questions. If either the observer or observee wishes a P&B member to be present at the post-observation conference, please let me know. NOTE: The tenth week of the semester ends on November 4, 2005. Please complete all your class visits by Friday, November 4, and give your reports to the observees in timely fashion, completing all post-observation conferences at the latest by Friday, November 11th, 2005. Here are a few reminders: · Observers plan to stay for a full session of a 50-minute class or for at least half of a double session. · If reports have extra pages or attachments, number the pages and make 3 copies of all pages (two copies for the Department, one copy for the observee). · Check that each report when submitted includes a post-observation memo on which both observer and observee have written comments and signed. · Be sure all reports are signed when turned in. · Observations should comment on the following factors: 1. Classroom atmosphere 2. Mastery of subject matter 3. Organization and presentation of subject matter 4. Any other factors which enhanced or hampered the presentation We know that the observation period can produce anxiety from time to time in all of us. However, while observations are a part of our evaluation process, they are primarily a learning and helping tool, and we approach them in a collegial manner.
