Guidelines for Summer Session Teaching Appointments
Summer employment is a supplementary appointment and is not guaranteed. Courses are offered based on past enrollments and summer instructional needs as determined by the Division Head in consultation with the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Recommendation to offer an individual faculty member summer teaching employment is made by the Division Head based on past summer teaching performance, formal and informal student feedback (e.g. SRTEs, retention rates, student comments), peer observation and comparative analysis of similar classes.
In the event a faculty member is not offered the opportunity to teach over the summer because of poor performance, the Division Head will discuss with the faculty member a plan to improve the faculty member’s teaching so that if implemented to the satisfaction of the Division Head, the faculty member would be recommended to participate in teaching during future summer sessions.
