FOREWORD
This is the first revision of the System of Faulty Evaluation for the Improvement of Faculty
Performance, originally published in 1986. The sections on Special Criteria by Rank and Promotion to Tenure Status
have been revised to be consistent with the 1989 Faculty Handbook sections 3.2.3 and 3.5.B. A classroom observation
appeals process has been added to allow a faulty member observed to appeal conflicting classroom observation reports
prepared by departmental observation committees and a Spring Observation report prepared by the department chairperson
during the same academic year. Guidelines for rating Student Instructional Report (SIR) scores on the Effectiveness as a
Library Professional Form for Annual Performance Review have been added to ensure uniformity and consistency in
rating SIR scores by department chairpersons.
The performance areas ( i . e . , e f fec t i ve nes s a s a l i b r a ry p ro fe ss io na l , a cad emic c i t i ze ns h ip ,

few changes have been made in the instruments for measuring effectiveness as a library professional, academic
citizenship, and research and creative activity. Most notable among these changes are 1) the deletion of one item
from the Effectiveness as a Library Professional.

PROCEDURES FOR PROMOTION REVIEW
The following procedures are outlined for consideration of faculty members for promotion:
A. The name(s) of any candidate(s) to be considered for promotion must be presented to the appropriate d e a n or director
b y November 1 5 of the academic y e a r for consideration. Faculty members’ n a m e s may be placed in candidacy b y
themselves, their department chairperson or by another colleague in the department. The dean will then inform each
faculty member in that department of the names of all candidates in that department.
B. The department chairperson will receive a dossier prepared by the candidate that contains (1) a resume, (2) a copy of all
relevant Annual Performance Reviews and the supporting documentation for them, and (3) letters of recommendation.
The candidate will also submit a completed Faculty Evaluation Promotion Review: Selected Performance Area
Percentage Weights Form, showing the percentage weights in each of the four areas of the evaluation that will apply
in the promotion review. To the dossier may be added letters of reference solicited by the department chairperson
or submitted by faculty members in the department who wish to state their opinions on the candidate's
promotion. In the event that the applicant has not undergone a classroom observation by the chairperson during the
current academic year (in Progress Review I), the chairperson is required to make a classroom visit for the purpose
of evaluating the candidate's classroom performance.
9
If the department chairperson is being considered for promotion, the dean of the college/school will be
responsible for receiving and c o m p l e t i n g that c h a i r p e r s o n ’ s dossier.
C. The department chairperson will then establish a promotion review committee consisting of the chairperson and
four faculty members. Three of the four faculty members should be members of the department, and one
should be from another department. The department chairperson will head this committee. All members of the
committee should hold rank at least equal to that proposed for the candidate. For these purposes, the School of
Music and the College of Business Administration will operate as a department and choose their committee
members from the total faculty.
The committee will review the candidate's dossier and, as a committee, complete the official Promotion
Review Assessment forms in the areas of teaching effectiveness, research and creative activity,
academic citizenship, and community service. The committee will compute an overall rating and make
its recommendation and dossier will then be forwarded to the dean of the college. The department/college
chairperson must provide the dean with a written recommendation, in addition to that of the committee.
In case of a department chairperson’s candidacy, the dean of the college will form a separate promotion
committee and serve as its chairperson.
10
D. After the dean/director reviews all recommendations and dossiers for candidates for promotion, an advisory committee of
faculty members in the college will be appointed. These faculty members will indicate whether they have any
reason to question the fairness of procedures used and advise the dean on the merits of the evaluation. The dean will
then prepare a written recommendation for each candidate and submit the recommendations to the Vice President for
Academic Affairs. Recommendations concerning promotions must reach the Office of the Vice President for Academic
Affairs by March 15.

15
FACULTY EVALUATION PROCESS
The System of Faculty Evaluation is designed to review annually each faculty member in the areas of teaching
effectiveness, academic citizenship, research and creative activity, and community service. The proportionate
w e i g h t of the faculty member’s effort in each of these areas may vary from year to year within certain ranges. The
annual review process for faculty members with temporary or probationary contracts consists of three steps: Progress
Review I, completed between October and November; Progress Review II, completed between January and February;
and the Annual Performance review, completed between April 1 and May 15. The annual review process for
tenured faculty member consists of the Annual Performance Reviews,
also completed between April 1 and May 15.
The f o l l o w i n g evaluation procedures a r e o u t l i n e d for f a c u l t y members at A l a b a m a State University:
I. During the first two weeks of the academic year, department chairpersons will meet with each probationary
and tenured faculty member to agree on a plan for the faculty member's distribution of professional
activities during the coming academic year, using the Performance Area Projections/Selected Percentage
Weights Form.
2. PROGRESS REVIEW I: Required for faculty members with adjunct, annual temporary or probationary
a p p o i n t me n t s . During October and November, the department chairpersons will observe and rate the
classroom performance of al faculty members in their departments who hold adjunct, annual temporary or
probationary appointments. Where appropriate, t h e chairpersons w i l l also review and evaluate a l l syllabi
and test materials being used. The chairperson will hold a conference with each faculty member
16
reviewed t o discuss t h e evaluation. The faculty member may add comments to the written report and
will sign the report as an acknowledgement of having reviewed its contents.
3. PROGRESS REVIEW II: Required for faculty members with adjunct, annual temporary or probationary
appointments . In September, each department chairperson wi l l appoint an e v a l u a t i o n committee
from among tenured members of t h e d e p a r t m e n t . The chairperson will not be a member of this
committee. The responsibility of the committee is to conduct, between January and February, Progress Review
II.
Each member of the committee w i l l observe and rate the classroom p e r fo r mance of all faculty members
in the department who hold adjunct, annual temporary or probationary appointments. Where appropriate, the
committee members will also review and evaluate all syllabi and test materials being used. The committee
will hold a conference with each faculty member reviewed to discuss the results of the evaluation. The
faculty member may add comments to the written reports and will sign them as an acknowledgement of
having r e v i e w e d the c o n t e n t s . The c o m p l e t e d reports will be t r a n s m i t t e d to t h e
chairperson of the department.
4. SPRING CLASS OBSERVATION REPORT: In the Spring, before completing the Annual Performance
Review for faculty members, the department chairperson will observe and rate the classroom performance
of all faculty members who have received unsatisfactory ratings in ether Progress Review I or II during the
current academic year. If such observation i s made, t he chairperson w i l l hold a conference w i t h the
faculty
17
member t o discuss t h e report. The faculty member ma y add comments to the report and will sign it as
acknowledgement of having reviewed i t s contents.
5. ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW: Required for al probationary and tenured faculty member
and for annual temporary faculty members, if re-employment is being considered. Each Spring,
before May 15, department chairperson will compete an Annual Performance Review for the
probationary and tenured faculty members in their departments, using as a base document the faculty
members' agreed upon plan for the distribution of professional activities during the current academic
year. After conferring with the chairperson, a faculty member may add comments to the written report and
will sign the r e p o r t as a n a c k n o w l e d g e m e n t o f h a v i n g reviewed its c o n t e n t s .
Annual Performance Review reports will be transmitted to the dean o f the college/school wh o will either
concur wi th or dissent from the rating given. When there is dissent, the dean will provide a written
explanation to the faculty member and department chairperson, confer with them about the matter,
and permit either or both to add comments to the report. Annual Performance Review reports will be
filed in the dean's office. Summary faculty ratings will be transmitted to the O f f i c e o f the Vice
P r e s i d e n t for A c a d e m i c Affairs.
18
CLASSROOM OBSERVATION APPEALS PROCESS
Appeals of Classroom Observation Reports are limited to situations in which there is a disagreement between observation
reports prepared by departmental classroom observation committees and a Spring Observation Report prepared by the
department chair during the same academic year. Only the faculty member observed may institute an appeal. The
appeal must be submitted in writing to the Dean of the College within two weeks of the time the Spring
Observation Report has been distributed.
The Dean will appoint a committee of the department chair and two tenured faculty members to conduct a formal
classroom observation of the faculty member, preferably in the course that give rise to the challenge. One of the
faculty members chosen should be knowledgeable in the subject of the course; the other should be especially
knowledgeable of librarian techniques. This committee's classroom observation report will be made known to the
faculty member and the departmental classroom observation committee. Its rating is to be used for item three of the
Effectiveness as a Library Professional Assessment Form for the individual's Annual Performance Review.

SUMMARY
This System of Faculty Evaluation contained in this d o c u m e n t provides procedures and instruments for
measuring the contributions of faculty m embers to the achievement of the mission and goals of Alabama State
University. The system is designed to generate data for decision making in regard to faculty development needs,
retention, promotion, tenure, and awards of merit. The primary objective of the System of Faculty Evaluation is to
help faculty members perform at progressively higher levels of excellence.
The System of Faculty Evaluation includes five types of evaluation and four performance criteria for evaluation. The
five types of evaluations are (1) Progress Review I, (2) Progress Review II, (3) Annual Performance Review, (4)
Promotion Review, and (5) Tenure Review. The four performance criteria for evaluation are (I) effectiveness as a library
professional, (2) research and creative activity, (3) academic citizenship, and (4) community service.
Progress Reviews I and II are designed to assess the effectiveness as a library professional performance of probationary,
temporary annual and adjunct faculty members. Progress Review I is conducted by the department chairperson and
completed between October and November. Progress Review II is conducted by the departmental evaluation committee
and completed b e t we e n January and February.
The Annual Performance Review I is designed to measure performance in the areas of effectiveness as a library
professional, research and creative activity, academic citizenship, and community service for all faculty members.
Department chairpersons have the responsibility of c o n d u c t i n g Annual Performance Reviews, and there reviews are
to be completed between April 1 and May 15. Promotion and tenure reviews are designed for faculty who meet certain
minimum criteria as specified in the Faculty Handbook and who submit an application for promotion or tenure
review. In the case of tenure, however, all sixth year probationary faculty members must be reviewed for tenure.
Candidates for promotion or tenure are assessed on all performance criteria specified in the System of Faculty
Evaluation. Departmental committees are appointed for both types of reviews and their recommendations are
forwarded to the dean of the appropriate college/school.
Each of the system's evaluation instruments contains items that are rated on a scale of 0 (low) to
27
4 (high). Guidelines and formulas have been established for computing overall performance score for each type of
review. Overall performance scores for the Annual Performance Review, Promotion Review, and Tenure Review take
into account performance area percentage weights that faculty members are permitted to select within certain ranges prior
to the initiation of the respective review.
Finally, the System of Faculty Evaluation provides minimum scores for making promotion and tenure recommendations
and sets parameters for other decisions.

GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATORS
Effectives as a Library Professional: Assumes academic preparation in the field of library
& information science or museum and archival studies; an ability to communicate with
students and a firm commitment to both instructional and student excellence; involves presentation of knowledge and information by
methods that include technology, customer service, strategic planning, research, bibliographic techniques etc.
Track & Document Performance
• Proper documentation increases the likelihood that an employee will understand his/her rating.
• Provide specific accomplishments or examples
• Review records for the entire year to prevent “recency effect” error
• Documentation should be accurate and specific.
• Cite distinct examples of performance, both positive and negative, including the
context in which they occurred, the behavior or inaction, and the outcome or consequence.
• Documentation should focus on facts, which are events, behaviors or results.
Examples of documentation could include copies of employee work product, notes of discussions between the employee and
supervisor, copies of communications between the employee and supervisor, and observations of the supervisor.
Based upon this documentation, you will make a determination for each area listed on the appraisal form. The work behaviors listed
on the appraisal form are only examples and
are not intended to reflect all aspects of a position at the University. They are to be used as a guide.
Establish goals and action plan - Goals and an action plan to achieve the goals should be established with the employee. Goals
should be consistent with the job responsibilities, the employee's career aspirations, the departmental and University’s priorities,
and the reviewed strengths and weaknesses. The plan can be staged if necessary with short, medium and long-term aspects, but
the goals must be realistic.
Establish specific objectives - These are the specific steps that must be accomplished in order to achieve the goals. These must
adhere to the SMART rules - specific, measurable, agreed, realistic, & time-bound.
Evaluate and establish resources - These resources are essential for the employee to achieve the objectives, and can include
coaching, mentoring or anything relevant and helpful that will help the person develop towards the standard and agreed task.
46
REGULATIONS
1. If a faculty member receives an unsatisfactory observation rating on a Progress Review 1 or II Report, in the Spring, the
department head will make an observation report before preparing the Annual Performance Review Report.
2. Students will evaluate each Information Literacy class or other assigned class of each faculty member at least once per
academic year, but more frequently if it is feasible and practical to do so. The once per academic year minimum student
assessment of teachers will be accomplished between January and February using SIR or some other appropriate form.
3. Written evaluation reports should identify the elements that influenced a judgment made and, if needed for clarity offer a
brief explanation.
