Your AFT 2121 bargaining team has reached an agreement with the district on faculty evaluations. See here.
The agreement keeps some of our important wins for remote classes, & protects our safety during this continuing COVID epidemic. Highlights:
- Committees can be one or two members to evaluate PT faculty, and two or three members to evaluate FT faculty. Where possible, committees should be made up of members working in the same modality as the evaluatee.
- Committee members who are working only online/remote cannot be forced to observe in-person.
- All evaluatees can choose self-evaluation, if their previous eval was peer or peer-management with an overall satisfactory rating.
- Evaluations of classroom instructors shall use student surveys, with some exceptions such as low-level ESL.
- Evaluatees choose which classes are surveyed. They can choose to limit that to one class, or they can request more than one class be surveyed. The exception is for tenure review evaluations, where all classes should be surveyed.
- When in-person or IOTL classes are surveyed, use the student surveys in our contract.
- When remote classes are surveyed, use the shorter surveys from our COVID agreement.
- Evaluation criteria return to our regular pre-COVID contract criteria as listed in our contract, with one exception. For faculty who are working exclusively in remote mode, committees shall give one overall ranking per section rather than rank each line.
