1/2 DAY Executive Presentation A special executive presentation of the 8 - step process described in Raoul A. Arreola's Developing a Comprehensive Faculty Evaluation System (Third Edition Jossey-Bass Publications, 2007). The presentation is specifically designed for academic administrators and faculty organization leaders. The presentation includes an overview of the 8-step process with focus on the administrative role, resource requirements, and faculty governance issues involved in developing and implementing a large-scale faculty evaluation system. The primary objective of this session is to acquaint campus leaders with the cost, timeline, policy, and political issues involved in undertaking a project to revise or develop their institution's faculty evaluation system. {Contact for fee quote} 1/2 DAY General Faculty Meeting presentation A presentation of the 8-step process as described in Raoul A. Arreola's book of the same title. The objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of the entire process of developing a faculty evaluation system that will be used for both personnel decisions and professional growth and development initiatives. The presentation, which includes an open question-and-answer session, addresses the issue of the appropriate use of faculty evaluation information in making promotion, tenure, continuation, and merit pay decisions. Also, a brief review of the results of 85 years of research on student ratings is presented. This presentation has been found to be of great use in beginning the process of systematically involving faculty in the process of designing a faculty evaluation system that responds to, and reflects, the unique history, culture, traditions, and mission of the institution. {Contact for fee quote} FULL DAY Working/Planning Session A full day workshop on the 8-step process as described in Raoul A. Arreola's book of the same title. Participants engage in a detailed exploration of each step of the process as well as a discussion of the policies and procedures required to use faculty evaluation data in promotion, tenure, merit pay, and professional growth. This workshop is particularly recommended for members of any committee or task force charged with revising or developing an institution's faculty evaluation system. Participants come away from the workshop with an understanding of the issues involved in implementing a large-scale faculty evaluation system and are prepared to serve as campus facilitators in the 8-step process. {Contact for fee quote} FULL DAY Faculty Evaluation System IMPLEMENTATION This special workshop is designed for institutions that have decided to implement the Comprehensive Faculty Evaluation System development process and is designed to be presented to the entire faculty in accelerating the process of building or revising an institution's faculty evaluation system. The workshop is specifically designed to move the faculty through the first three steps in the 8-step process in one day thus saving several months in the process. Faculty are assembled in disciplinary groups and are provided with specific forms and guidelines designed to enable them to determine a faculty role model on which to base the design of the faculty evaluation system. The faculty role model developed by each disciplinary group includes both the parameter values for each role as well as the descriptions of the professional activities that define each role. The workshop concludes with a brief presentation by each disciplinary group of the results of their discussions and decisions. A preliminary summary of the work of done by the disciplinary groups is provided by the presenter. This session accomplishes the work that ordinarily takes approximately three months when conducted by the coordinating committee or task force. In addition, faculty 'buy-in' for the evaluation system designed on the basis of this session's work is greatly enhanced since they will have been intimately and publicly consulted and involved in the first steps of the process. It is recommended that this workshop be preceded by some preliminary training of the members of the faculty evaluation committee or task force so as to enable them to serve as active facilitators in this session's work. {Contact for fee quote} 1/2 DAY Student Rating Forms- Their Design, Construction, and Use A review of several key issues related to the use of student rating forms in evaluating teaching. The presentation includes 1) a review of the major research findings on student ratings; 2) the technical issues involved in correctly interpreting student ratings for use in both personnel decisions and professional growth and development; and 3) practical suggestions on when and how to administer student rating forms. If the institution is currently using a locally constructed student rating form the presentation will include a brief critique of that form. {Contact for fee quote} FULL DAY: Morning session same as above. Afternoon session focuses on 1) a full diagnostic of institution's current student rating form(s); 2) a detailed review of a case study demonstrating the technical and psychometric aspects of how to build a student rating form; and 3) development of new or revised student rating form based on the student rating item catalog provided as part of the workshop. {Contact for fee quote} HOST THE FULL NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON YOUR CAMPUS Given the restrictions on travel budgets during the current economic situation we are providing an alternate option to holding our nationally-scheduled workshops. You may choose to host (co-sponsor) the full two-day CEDA workshop on Developing a Comprehensive Evaluation System (with identical information and materials as the nationally scheduled version) on your campus. The host institution may then invite as many participants from local institutions as they wish and charge them a mutually agreed upon fee. This option eliminates the need for travel on the part of participants from your institution as well as high travel costs on the part of participants from sister or local institutions. Depending upon the number of paying participants from the sister or local institutions, the cost to the co-sponsoring host institution for the workshop may be all or partially recovered. Please send an e-mail request for more information to CEDA by clicking HERE. Make sure to include a phone number and best time to call. We will contact you and make arrangements for a formal proposal for your consideration. CONSULTING SERVICES: Raoul A. Arreola, Ph.D. Over the last 41 years Dr. Arreola has served as a consultant to over 300 colleges and universities nationally and internationally on issues related to the assessment and professional development of faculty peformance. As a consultant Dr. Arreola often meets with academic leaders on issues of policy and procedure in evaluating faculty, as well as conducting faculty seminars or facilitating discussions on issues related to faculty evaluation, including the use of student ratings, peer review procedures, and the use of faculty evaluation data in merit pay, promotion and tenure decisions, and the post-tenure review process. In addition, over the last 10 years Dr. Arreola, in collaboration with Dr. Mike Theall of Youngstown State University, has developed the 'Meta-Profession Project' which provides a more comprehensive model for both assessing faculty performance and relating it to structured professional growth and development programs.
