PROCEDURE: EVALUATION OF REGULAR AND LIMITED FACULTY
Policy
All contractual faculty of Morgan Community College shall be evaluated annually for
purposes of improvement of instruction, encouragement of professional growth and
development, and for retention. (CP 3-25)
Faculty shall be evaluated according to their documented responsibilities, job
description, performance, and progress on furthering Board priorities and college goals.
Faculty performance plans should link individual goals to organization goals.
Additionally, faculty members shall be evaluated according to four principle factors;
teaching effectiveness, professional development, service to the college, and service to
the community. Each faculty member shall prepare a narrative summary of his/her goals
and progress towards these four factors. The faculty member shall be evaluated by
his/her Division Chair, who shall write a summary of the evaluation. The faculty member
shall have the opportunity to respond in writing to the formal evaluation report.
This evaluation plan has been developed following the criteria from the Board Policy on
Evaluation of Faculty Job Performance, BP 3-31, approved by the Colorado Community
College System.
Procedure
The Faculty Member shall develop an Annual Work Plan, specifying goals to be
implemented during the school year. The plan shall be submitted to the Division Chair for
review and a meeting shall be set for discussion of the plan by the end of September.
There shall be four principle factors within the Annual Work Plan. These factors shall have
the following weights in the evaluation of the Faculty Member: teaching effectiveness, 65
percent; professional development, 10 percent; service to the college, 20 percent; service
to the community, 5 percent. Compliance with State Board policies and State System
procedures is a requirement of all State System employees; noncompliance shall be an
overall negative factor in a Faculty Member’s evaluation.
Each of the principle factors contains a number of components (defined in Appendix A).
Exceptional completion of components can improve the Faculty Member’s overall
evaluation.
The Faculty Member may develop additional goals that do not expressly address the
components of the principle factors. These goals should reflect Morgan Community
College goals for the year, as established by the Strategic Planning, Assessment, and
Communication (SPAC) team. If the goal refers to more than one principle factor, it may
be listed under each principle factor.

An Annual Evaluation meeting shall take place between the Division Chair and the Faculty
Member at the end of the spring semester. The evaluation shall include a narrative report
by the Faculty Member on the details of the goals established during the Annual Work
Plan meeting with the Division Chair in the fall. The narrative summary shall describe the
Faculty Member’s activities for the year and the impact of those activities on their own
development, their students, the division, and the college. Supervisor evaluation, student
evaluation, and other documentation may be included in the evaluation.
There shall be four performance ratings: Outstanding; Exceeds Expectations; Meets
Expectations; and Fails to Meet Expectations. Performance evaluations and ratings
shall be in narrative - not numerical - form. Only faculty members whose overall
performance rating is “Meets Expectations” or above are eligible for salary increases.
The Division Chair shall determine an overall evaluation rating for the Faculty Member.
The Division Chair shall include a brief written justification of his/her overall rating of the
Faculty Member. If there are any areas that “Fail to Meet Expectations” of the college, the
Division Chair shall offer opportunities for remediation of the deficits.
The Faculty Member shall have the opportunity to respond to the formal evaluation.
The Faculty Member shall receive a copy of the formal evaluation. The college
president shall review an appeal by a Faculty Member of the formal evaluation.
