GFO Evaluations Starting Spring 2017

Beginning spring semester 2017 all GFO faculty will be evaluated at least every 8 semesters.  We have signed a Memo of Agreement with the college regarding evaluation of faculty who are eligible for Good Faith Offers. Briefly the guidelines are as follows:

  • Adjuncts who achieve GFO designation will be evaluated on a regular basis and no less than once each 8 semesters (fall and spring) taught
  • The evaluation will consist of not less than one classroom observation and a voluntary evaluation conference
  • The adjunct will be notified in advance of the classroom observation
  • Observations will be conducted by an administrator or designee
  • A copy of the observation form can be found on the College’s intranet page
  • Copies of the completed Classroom Observation form and Administration Evaluation form shall be provided to the adjunct, with an opportunity for the adjunct to add a written reply or rebuttal
