The phrases in blue boldface indicate the changes in the criteria

15.1 Teaching

The category requires evidence of quality in teaching, which includes classroom, interdisciplinary team teaching of general education core courses, laboratory and studio instruction, as well as independent study, supervision of interns/co-op students/student teachers/student research, clinical supervision and advisement.

All faculty are expected to be more than just "good" teachers, and excellence in teaching is especially important for all applicable personnel actions.

Documentation must include a statement which communicates the candidate’s views about, and strengths in, teaching. Other evidence must include student course evaluations and peer classroom evaluations as required by the contract. Candidates may, and are encouraged to include other materials, such as syllabi and exams, that indicate content and quality as well as additional student and peer classroom evaluations and samples of student work. Evidence of the range and type of course taught, unique teaching style and techniques, use of technology to enhance teaching/learning, participation in teaching general education courses including interdisciplinary team taught core courses, and interdisciplinary teaching may also be included.

Effectiveness in other on-load non-teaching responsibilities, except FSIP (if applicable), should be included in this category and considered in proportion to time spent.
