PROCEDURE GUIDELINES
Zane State College is committed to continuous improvement in teaching and learning. The faculty evaluation procedure at ZSC is designed to provide a systematic process for faculty and administration to evaluate professional performance and support continued professional growth and development.
Each adjunct/CCPH faculty member is assigned a faculty liaison/subject matter expert before the beginning of each semester. The liaison is the adjunct faculty member’s Zane State point of contact. Each unique course must be observed once per year.
Initial Observations need to be in person. If satisfactory, subsequent observations can be Zoom if a live observation is not possible.
The liaison will attend the scheduled class session, review the course Blackboard site and complete the Classroom Observation of Instruction form. The dean or designee will review the course Blackboard site for online observations before completing the Observation form.
The signed observation form and any responses and comments should be returned to the liaison within one week of receipt.
The liaison will meet virtually with faculty to discuss the content and responses to the Classroom Observation of Instruction form.
