Full-time Lecturer Annual Performance Review Process

Full-time lecturers are reviewed for performance annually. This official CAS memo (2023) outlines the overall process from the university’s point of view. In the Writing Program, we align our yearly check-in meetings with the FAR calendar-year process. This process culminates in the annual performance review cycle and makes goal-setting and feedback more collaborative and less disjointed.

    • January: Faculty annual check-in with admin* 
      • Reflect on previous calendar year (reflection form)
      • Jumpstart FAR
      • Discuss goals and plans for future, including promotion
    • February: Faculty file FAR
    • April: Faculty self-assess for WP admin team*
    • May: Admin submit finalized performance review blurbs for previous calendar year to CAS

    *Notes from the January check-in and the April self-assessment are the basis for instructors’ calendar-year performance review blurb.
