The evaluation of faculty at Collin County Community College District (CCCCD) is a continuous process that focuses on the professional growth and development of each member in relationship to the position description and institution and divisional goals and priorities (References 1, 2, 3). Each component has standard published criteria that are documented on designated forms.

Components of the full-time faculty evaluation process are (A) student evaluations of instruction (Reference 4), (B) evaluation forms for classroom visit, by the dean (Reference 5), and (C) faculty performance appraisals by the dean (Reference 6). Student surveys are conducted each semester, with results reviewed by the faculty member and the dean. A classroom visit by the division dean is conducted at least once in each annual contract period or twice during a multi-year contract period. Annual faculty performance appraisals are conducted by the division dean for all full-time faculty members and include the summation of other evaluation results and an assessment of the faculty member’s performance, including teaching, student advising, interpersonal communication, professional development, and college service.

To be considered for a multi-year contract each full-time faculty member must submit an application to the elected faculty peer review group, the Council on Excellence (COE) (Reference 7). This application contains (A) a complete set of annual faculty performance appraisals for the contract period being considered, (B) a self-evaluation (Reference 8), using a form specified by the COE, and (C) a Board Report form (Reference 9) that summarizes the key contributions made by the faculty member during the prior contract period. The COE reviews all appraisals and student evaluations, and presents a recommendation regarding the applications for multi-year contracts to the appropriate Vice Presidents. This recommendation is reviewed by the appropriate Vice President, who presents a recommendation to the President. The Board of Trustees reviews the President’s recommendation and makes the final decision regarding faculty contracts.

The associate (part-time) faculty evaluation process includes an annual classroom visit by the division dean, the department chair, or a designee. Student Surveys of Instruction are administered to all class sections each semester and are available in the respective division office for review by the faculty member. The Student Surveys of Instruction and the results of the class visits are used to recommend the hiring of part-time faculty each semester.
