Annual Plan and Self-Evaluation
Updated on January 14, 2025, to reflect NFA contract timeline.
The Annual Performance Evaluation is intended to give the faculty member and others reviewing the faculty member’s performance a context for understanding the range and robustness of their professional activities in three areas of performance review: teaching effectiveness, professional development, and service to college and community.
The process begins with the completion of the Annual Plan. Employees should submit their proposed Annual Plan to their supervisor using the Annual Plan/Self-Evaluation form no later than 30 working days from the first day of instruction in the Fall Semester. The Annual Plan sets measurable criteria by which the faculty member notifies their supervisor and the administration of their professional intent. There will be general agreement between the faculty member, supervisor, and the Dean or designee concerning the criteria selected within the annual plan, but no approval is necessary for the proposed Annual Plan.
The Self Evaluation will be completed on the same form as the Annual Plan and turned in to the supervisor, per the timeline published below. When completing the Self Evaluation, faculty should add the appropriate activity multipliers and briefly address each activity completed: specifically, what you did, and if appropriate, what came from it or how it benefited the College. The Faculty member proposes the final rating on the form.
Note: Faculty on Sabbatical will be evaluated based on the fulfillment of duties described in their approved sabbatical request, as agreed upon with their supervisor.
Evaluation Timeline
Note: There are three types of Academic Faculty members (Instructional, Librarian, and Counselor). Each has their own version of the Annual Plan/Self Evaluation.
Date | Activity |
---|---|
During March or April |
|
Within 10 working days before the end of the academic year |
|
Within 5 working days before the end of the academic year |
|
By the end of the academic year |
|
Within 10 working days of receipt |
|
Note: Faculty are encouraged to turn in their Annual Plan/Self Evaluation early (e.g. April). An early submission can be beneficial in multiple ways: it would help to ensure that HR is able to process the appropriate salary increases if it is a merit year by July 1 and it would also allow ample time for Faculty to meet with their Dean if they have questions or wish to dispute their evaluation. No unsatisfactory evaluation may be given after the end of the academic year.
Note: Any activity that the Faculty member completes after they submit their Self Evaluation is eligible for use on the next academic year's Annual Plan/Self Evaluation.
