Evaluation-Professional Activities Inventory - Currently, all members of the Trinity faculty are evaluated annually. Each summer, every faculty member completes a Professional Activities Inventory available on the Dean of Faculty’s website (word; PDF) and submits it to the Dean of Faculty’s office, with a copy to the faculty member’s chairperson/director. The department chair or program director will meet with the faculty member during the fall term, as a mentor, to discuss the faculty member’s past year and plans for the next. The Dean meets with each chair to discuss any concerns of individual faculty members as well as the department as a whole.
There is space to set out a narrative of the year, the highlights and difficulties, as well categories to inventory other professional activities. The form allows for the various kinds of teaching, research, creative work, and service in which Trinity faculty are engaged. If there are any questions about how to fill out the form, department chairs can help.
