After reviewing the content for this section, I feel that we have a pretty good annual performance review process in place for instructors.I do think we could be doing better, however, when it comes to providing instructors with information in real time via dashboards.
It is important to monitor instructions in both a qualitative and quantitative manner.
New faculty should have weekly meetings or 1:1's with a supervisor to track progress (or opportunities) in order to get better results.
Thrilled about the course's balanced blend of synchronous and asynchronous learning, fostering a solid foundation for faculty performance. The proactive 30-day feedback and coaching, coupled with an annual development plan, show a commitment to continuous improvement. Varied evaluation practices, from 30-day assessments to quarterly and annual reviews, ensure a comprehensive approach to maintaining high instructional standards. Kudos to the program for its dedication to effective feedback and ongoing enhancement of online teaching skills!
This statement was important, " Focus on predictive indicators..." rather than negative quantitative data. Focus on the successful predictors...
I like the idea of focusing more on quantitative data and then qualitative. Once the instructor has their activities for the course outlined, then the manager can assist them in refining the details in the activities.
I will make sure to complete observations of all online instructors.
Evaluating the faculty performance within the first 30 days is essential to ensuring the development of effective faculty strategies for grading and supporting online engagement.
This module provided some great information about measuring and managing effective strategies for online instruction. It is easier to work with faculty to evaluate and initiate improvements when you have qualitative and quantitative data to support needed changes.
there has to be interaction in the virtual classroom and tools to help the instructor in the evaluation process as well for the students to be using day to day resources
I am quite interested in being able to go back once classes start to really put some of this into action and see how this social constructivist approach works; it gets my wheels turning about faculty retention to because the high quality, consistent and timely feedback from a positive perspective, with clear expectations up front is definitely something.
Ensuring the availability of technology applications and appropriate utilization as well as availability of instructional materials will support positive outcomes during faculty performance evaluations.
A well-rounded performance consideration process typically involves multiple areas of assessment.
A combination of quantitative and qualitative measures are necessary for faculty performance.
