Abstract | The English Department at the Allegheny Campus of the Community College of Allegheny County, in Pennsylvania, has implemented standards for recruiting, training, and providing development opportunities for part-time faculty. To ensure high quality instruction and a continuity of standards between full- and part-time faculty, the same criteria for hiring and the same evaluation process are used for both groups of faculty. The hiring process is conducted by a Part-Time Faculty Coordinator and a Part-Time Faculty Committee, composed of volunteer full-time faculty who review applications, conduct interviews, and submit selections to the department head. In an effort to monitor standards and to ensure the fairness of evaluation, part-time faculty are required to submit a portfolio during their first semester of actual hire. In addition, all part-time faculty are ranked by the Committee as either highly competitive, competitive, or non-competitive to reward instructors whose performance has been exemplary and enable department heads to make fair and informed staffing decisions. Part-time faculty are also invited to participate in almost all academic and social functions of the department, including meetings, committees, and professional development activities. Includes guidelines for screening faculty portfolios, a part-time staffing record form, a list portfolio requirements, and a syllabus evaluation form. (TGI) |
