SUMMARY of teaching effectiveness

EXTERNAL LETTERS

LETTERS OF REFERENCE

• Include only “official” solicited letters

• At least 3 letters from “Peer Institutions”

• Writers should have no “substantive relationship” with candidate

• Biosketch is required for each letter writer

• Administrator is required to provide biosketches

• Administrator must explain any substantive relationships

• All biosketches together fit on one page preceding letters

“PEER INSTITUTIONS”

In 2010, the Provost stipulated that at least three external letters of evaluation must originate from Peer Institutions. Candidates should recommend several potential evaluators whose institutional affiliations fulfill this criterion.

Peer Institutions have been defined as those appearing on the list of athletic conference affiliates available in the university’s strategic plan Making It Happen. Members of the American Association of Universities are also considered to be Peer Institutions.

“SUBSTANTIVE RELATIONSHIPS”

In 2010, these were defined as dissertation advisory chairs, former instructors of graduate coursework, close collaborators in research, etc.

External evaluators should be encouraged to disclose relationships with the candidate.

The unit administrator must justify any substantive relationships within the biosketch section.
