Guidelines
for Development of a Faculty Portfolio
Each
faculty member eligible to be considered for promotion
and/or
tenure shall prepare a portfolio for review by his/her Department Head,
Dean,
the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, and the
President.
All information for the portfolio (Tabs I-V) must be presented in a
single
approved binder (available, along
with Tab dividers, in the Office
of
VPASA) and must be word-processed in the format noted below. Required
Attachments A-F can be downloaded at http://www.jsu.edu/depart/avpasa/ptmemo.htm.
While the
portfolio is limited to the approved binder, additional
supporting
evidence for accomplishments noted in the portfolio should be more
extensive. This additional support should be placed on file in a
designated location in the faculty member’s college and will be
available
for review by peers, Department Heads, Deans, and/or the Vice-President
for
Academic and Student Affairs.
TAB
I
Insert Attachments A-F behind Tab I in the approved
binder.
TAB
II
Insert
your current CV behind Tab II in the approved binder.
TAB
III
Insert your Teaching Evaluations/Teaching
Accomplishments
behind Tab III in the approved binder.
TAB
IV
Insert and label by category (e.g., “Promotion,”
“Tenure,” or “Collegiality”) your Support Letters
behind Tab IV in the approved binder.
For
tenure, only tenured
faculty in the
candidate’s department or college may review the file and submit
letters
to the department head. For promotion, only faculty in the
candidate’s department or college with rank equal to or higher than
that being sought may review the file and submit letters to the
department
head. To verify collegiality, letters may be included from
professional
peers and colleagues external to the University as well as within the
University
community.
TAB
V
Letters from college promotion and tenure
committees, where
applicable, should be included, as should letters from the department
head
and
dean.
