On Behalf of Dean Sander:

DATE:                        December 20, 2010

SUBJECT:                  Annual Performance Reports and Evaluations for CY
2010

 

IMPORTANT: Deadline for Annual Performance Reports is January 21, 2011.

 

All faculty are required to prepare an Annual Performance Report covering
the period January 1 to December 31, 2010.  These reports provide background
material for personnel evaluations and a database of research, teaching, and
extension outcomes for administrative use throughout the year.  They are
also the basis of the post-tenure review process.  [Per UHAP 3.10 Annual
Performance Review:  Each annual performance review shall include the past
three to five calendar years of individual faculty member's performance,
with substantial emphasis on the most recent year for evaluation of
teaching.  The review time period (3 or 5) shall be determined by the unit.]

 

All units are now using the Annual Performance Report On-Line (APROL) for
the Annual Performance Reports (APRs).  The APRs (and accompanying forms)
are located at the following URL:
<http://cals-cf.calsnet.arizona.edu/aprol/index.cfm>
http://cals-cf.calsnet.arizona.edu/aprol/index.cfm.  All faculty should be
entered into the system.  You will need to create, copy from the previous
year, and/or review the information in the following forms: APR for CY 2010;
Item A (Position Description); and Items B and C (Major Commitments and
Plans for the current and previous year).  Teaching evaluation information
(TCEs) can be individually entered into APROL or submitted separately.
(Check your department policy.)  Please address technical questions
concerning APROL to Robert Armstrong (armstrng at ag.arizona.edu) or Kelly
Arizmendi (mblock at ag.arizona.edu).  The deadline for the completion of the
report is January 21.  Each annual performance review shall include the past
three to five calendar years of the individual faculty member's performance
with substantial emphasis on the most recent year for evaluation of
teaching.

 

All CALS units MUST use the official CALS Appointed Personnel Evaluation
Form for 2008-10 (available online at
http://cals.arizona.edu/dean/evaluations/appointed2010.htm) for the
evaluation of tenure and continuing track faculty and for other appointed
personnel as appropriate.

 

Administrative units will then develop peer reviews using the reports as
background information.  If your department has divisions, we ask that
division chairs also perform evaluations.  There is now a place on the
evaluation form for this.  Administrators must comment on any evaluations at
extremes (1 or 5), or any ratings that are different from the Peer
Committee's or Division Chair's ratings.  Administrative heads will meet
with individual faculty members by May 1 to discuss the evaluations.  The
deadline for the completion of post-tenure reviews in the departments is
June 1.  Although peer review methods may vary according to the guidelines
approved in each unit, the APR will be the basis for the evaluation.  Your
unit head will let you know whether or not a hard copy is required; an
electronic copy is no longer needed by me. If you have questions concerning
this process, please check with your unit head.
