Advice to Faculty Preparing a Portfolio for Tenure and Promotion Review

Presentation on the Tenure and Promotion Process (2012)

Jane Halonen, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, presented an overview of the revised tenure and promotion guidelines in 2010. The PDF posted here is an updated version of this presentation that includes advice to tenure and promotion candidates and to reviewers of tenure and promotion portfolios.

Guidelines on the Tenure and Promotion Process for New Faculty

The Center for University Teaching, Learning, and Assessment prepared a short document with advice to new faculty about earning tenure and promotion (Faculty Careers at UWF:  Advice to New Faculty).  This document provides a brief description of expectations related to teaching, research and scholarship, and service followed by a discussion of several strategies that contribute to successful progress toward earning tenure and promotion at UWF. 

Teaching Partners

The Teaching Partners program helps faculty identify mentors for the development of effective and innovative teaching.  Participants in Teaching Partners provide peer mentoring through mutual class observations and feedback.  The Center for University Teaching, Learning, and Assessment facilitates a workshop each fall on procedures for conducting an effective classroom observation and supports the activities of faculty who participate in Teaching Partners.

Citation Searching

Faculty members sometimes need information about the impact of their scholarly publications for the promotion and tenure process. The impact of a faculty member's research is often measured by:

• the number of times a published paper has been cited
• the ranking of the journal in which a paper is published
• the acceptance rate of submitted articles to a journal

The library has access to several resources that will help faculty track cited references in addition to locating journal rankings and acceptance rates. It is important to realize that not all journals are included in citation databases.

Citation searching is more broadly used to identify the impact of certain research.
