为终身任职和晋升做准备的一些“最佳做法” 供大学水平检讨

在准备任期材料时，请牢记以下事项。 These recommendations are intended to ensure uniformity in presentation, to put applicants' portfolios in the best possible light, and to clarify expectations.

1. 确保你的文件完整。 包括 要求的东西； 排除 没有被要求的东西。 Only four major items go forward to the University Tenure Committee, the Provost, the President, and the 校董会: 1) the Faculty Data Form, 2) the Supervisor's Evaluation Form, 3) the Dean's letter of recommendation, and 4) the letter of recommendation from the RTP or personnel committee chair. Separate letters from the Dean and the RTP/personnel committee chair are required for those candidates being considered both for tenure and promotion. All letters 必须 be submitted with 电子签名原件。

2. 项目7 - 10。 Please note that the University is committed to building a culture of assessment. Your faculty colleagues believe that effective teaching includes evidence of student learning. Therefore, I encourage you to include on your Faculty Data Form information about how you have 促进和促进了学生学习的评估。 Please decide where you wish to report evidence of student learning. It may fall under either the "teaching," "scholarly achievement," or "service" categories.

3. 14项。 NOTE WELL: The Regents have asked that special care be given when replying to item 14 on the Faculty Data Form. In particular, they expect applicants to include the following elements in the category:

(1) a clear expression of support for the 任务 of 佩珀代因大学
(2) a clear expression of support for the 基督教价值观 of the University
(3) a 华体会体育ment concerning one's involvement in 当地的信仰团体
(4) a 华体会体育ment of 一个人如何将信仰和学习联系起来 in one's teaching.

4. 格式和长度。 The Faculty Data Form and the Supervisor's Evaluation Form should be submitted 带有原始电子签名。 These two forms will be seen, as submitted, by the school tenure committees, 院长, University Tenure Committee, the Provost, the President, and the 校董会. The Faculty Data Form should be viewed as a 独立的文档. Remove references to ancillary materials, links, binders, or other supporting materials, since those items will not go forward and may create confusion for reviewers at the University level. All necessary information 必须 be contained within the Faculty Data Form. 不包括需要额外或独立解释的材料。 Remember that supporting materials (including course syllabi, publications, and any other documents) remain with the school. University-level reviewers may call for these materials if they wish, but one cannot assume that they will. Although there is 无规定长度 for Faculty Data Forms, please note that successful candidates in recent years have submitted Faculty Data Forms ranging from 16 to 30 pages. It is not the case that longer is automatically better.

5. 同行评估表可以用电脑或手工填写。 Original documents should be scanned and uploaded to Interfolio.

6. 准确性和清晰度。 It is essential that all materials submitted be in excellent form. 拼写、语法、标点和格式都要彻底检查。 注意：排版错误和拼写错误反映了终身职位申请人的糟糕表现。 Please adhere to a standard bibliographical format, either the APA, MLA, or another well recognized form of citation. Some achievements (speeches, presentations, lectures, etc.) may fit in more than one category on the data form. In these cases, take care to list the achievement only once, in the category that makes the most sense to you. 避免冗余 只要有可能。

7. 未发表的 works (works in progress, works "under review" for publication, etc.) 必须 be clearly distinguished from 发表 works. A work that is "forthcoming" (a work for which one has a signed contract or a written agreement to publish) may appear in the "发表" category, as long as there is a clear designation such as "Forthcoming" beside the entry.
