Why do we need a dossier?Probationary -> Continuing
• Evaluation of faculty performance for purposes of granting a continuing appointment is conducted by Academic Staff Appointment Committees (ASACs)
• C5065:“Sessional and probationary faculty members shall prepare and submit teaching dossiers to Chairs or immediate supervisors annually (and to ASACs when required). Although not mandatory, continuing and term faculty members may choose to prepare and submit teaching dossiers at any time.”
• C5066: “In some cases probationary faculty members shall prepare and submit professional dossiers to immediate supervisors.”

What else can we use it for?• Help when applying for employment • Keeps teaching accomplishments organized• Vehicle for presenting information about our
teaching activities• Could be presented to institutional & legislative
bodies or for consideration of awards• Understand & reflect on teaching skills &
weaknesses• Plan for future teaching events• Promote yourself through personal websites

Writing a Teaching Dossier
FIVE STEPS:
• Step 1: Develop an outline. • Step 2: Write a statement of teaching philosophy. • Step 3: Clarify your teaching responsibilities. • Step 4: Reflect on your future teaching goals. • Step 5: Select and compile your best evidence.
![Page 9: Creating a Teaching/Professional Dossier Shea Wang, Ph.D Interim Faculty Evaluation Coordinator 780-633-3591.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dca5503460f94ac0b16/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Step 1: Develop an Outline• Teaching Philosophy and Goals• Teaching Responsibilities • Course Development • Service • Research• Appendices
See handout for example of tables of contents
![Page 10: Creating a Teaching/Professional Dossier Shea Wang, Ph.D Interim Faculty Evaluation Coordinator 780-633-3591.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dca5503460f94ac0b16/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Step 2: Activity
Break into small groups and discuss the following sentences:• I most enjoyed teaching when __________• I knew I had a problem when __________• What do you think this says about your
teaching and learning environment?• What is your teaching philosophy?
See handout for information on teaching perspectives
![Page 11: Creating a Teaching/Professional Dossier Shea Wang, Ph.D Interim Faculty Evaluation Coordinator 780-633-3591.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dca5503460f94ac0b16/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Step 2: Philosophy Statements
• Most are brief ~ less than 1 page• Use language appropriate for the audience• Use a first-person voice• Use reflection to create a vivid description
of your teaching & learning ideas• Personalize (insightful, interesting, & lively)
![Page 12: Creating a Teaching/Professional Dossier Shea Wang, Ph.D Interim Faculty Evaluation Coordinator 780-633-3591.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dca5503460f94ac0b16/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Step 2: Review Statements • Review the teaching philosophy statement
on your table (choose1 example)• Roll the “Teaching Cube” and discuss the
teaching philosophy based on that facet • Can you apply this question to your own
teaching philosophy?See handout for examples on teaching
philosophy

Step 3: ResponsibilitiesConsider:• Workload• Courses taught with student numbers/levels/credit
hours• Details of other academic activity: seminars,
research supervision, coaching, advising…• Student supervision• Resource materials development• Did you or any of your students get an award as a
result of your teaching?

Step 4: Goals
short-term (1 year) & long-term (2-5 years) goals• Efforts at improving teaching, learning,
service… Formal courses Conferences Participation in peer consultation/review• How will you be changing your performance… New technology? Lecture -> case study?

Dossier as a Tool for Personnel Decisions
• For personnel decisions, faculty members need to gather and present hard evidence and specific data about teaching effectiveness. This involves demonstrating student learning through instruction.
• The burden falls to the faculty member to provide a carefully organized case that establishes the connections with the evidence.
![Page 17: Creating a Teaching/Professional Dossier Shea Wang, Ph.D Interim Faculty Evaluation Coordinator 780-633-3591.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dca5503460f94ac0b16/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Personnel Decisions: ActivityPolicy 5065: 4.2.2 Faculty members are evaluated on performance pertaining to academic responsibilities which can include:
- instruction
- research, scholarly activity, artistic engagement- service
Policy 5066: 4.2.2 Faculty members are evaluated on performance requirements outlined in position descriptions.
In small groups, discuss what specific criteria you think is used to assess a teaching/professional portfolio and ways you can demonstrate it…

What are ASAC’s Looking For?Reviewers will be looking for:• Clear statement of responsibilities• Purposes and goals consistent with department
and institution• Evidence-based success in teaching as
demonstrated by student learning• Comments from peer reviewers and colleagues• Student ratings and commentsSee handout for example of reflection on student feedback survey
![Page 19: Creating a Teaching/Professional Dossier Shea Wang, Ph.D Interim Faculty Evaluation Coordinator 780-633-3591.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dca5503460f94ac0b16/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Evaluating Your DossierQuestions to ask:• Is real evidence of accomplishment presented, not
just a reflective statement?• Is the reflective statement consistent with the
syllabi, student evaluations, and peer feedback?• Does the dossier present evidence that the
student’s actually learned in the instructor's course(s)?
• Have efforts been made by the faculty member to assess and improve their teaching?
