5.4
Professional Development Plan (PDP) The Professional Development Plan (PDP) specifies goals that faculty members expect to achieve with respect to their academic assignment, and scholarly, or artistic or professional achievement over the next 2.5 years. The primary function of the plan is to provide guidance to the candidate’s career development. Whether or not a candidate meets expectations as outlined in the plan is not to be used per se as a measure of performance for retention, tenure and promotion. 5.4.1.
Contents of a PDP 5.4.1.1.The PDP is to be no longer than four pages using a font no smaller than 12 point. 5.4.1.2.The form for the PDP is available through the Office of Faculty Affairs. 5.4.1.3.The PDP consists of an outline of activities and intended outcomes the faculty member plans to achieve toward retention, tenure and/or promotion over the next 2.5 yrs in relation to their academic assignment and completion of scholarly, artistic or professional achievements. 5.4.2.
Procedures for the PDP 5.4.2.1.A Professional Development Plan will be
developed/revised each year in which a faculty member is not being evaluated
for Retention, Tenure or Promotion (normally years 1,2,4, and 5). 5.4.2.2.During the first part of the Fall semester in years when the faculty member is not being reviewed for retention, tenure or promotion, the faculty member shall develop the PDP in consultation with the Department Chair or and individual designated by the Department Chair. 5.4.2.3.During the Spring semester in years in which reviews are not conducted for retention, tenure and/or promotion, Department RTP committees (constituted pursuant to Section 9.2.), Department Chairs, and College Deans shall consider the current PDP, PDPs from previous years if available, and all previous reviews concerning the PDPs for that faculty member. 5.4.2.4.The Department RTP committee, Department Chair, and the College Dean will comment on the appropriateness and adequacy of recent accomplishments along with the feasibility, appropriateness, adequacy and consistency in rigor with respect to other faculty. The comments shall be made available to the faculty member at least seven calendar days before the close of the Spring semester. 5.4.2.5.Because
the primary purpose of the Professional Development Plan is for use as a
formative tool for faculty development, it should not be included in the
dossier. 5.5
Request for a Performance Review The
candidate, or any of bodies reviewing the PDP, Department RTP Committee , Department
Chair, College RTP Committee and Dean
(or General Unit equivalent), may request a performance review to occur
