is
appropriate for your discipline

Role of the Dean
One
of our most important tasks – our report

reviews of all parties to this point
Review
syllabi to insure all elements are present; if SLO’s are
assessed; if evidence of direct measures of student learning
Review
all evaluations and assess for
trends
Recommend areas
for future growth and development
Is
this body of evidence sufficient? Are there areas in which improvement is needed?

Examples of helpful statements in reports

Examples of unhelpful statements in reports
“He is a fine person and we are fortunate to have him on staff.”
“I concur with the department evaluation committee.”
“It is not reasonable to expect anything here but minimal scholarship because we are a teaching institution.”
“Student evaluations are not valid due to small n’s.”
“We recommend her for obvious reasons.”
