I. Statement of Philosophy
It is essential to ensure a consistently high quality of instruction with a supportive, growth-oriented environment for both
students and faculty at WCJC. Because of this need, it is the responsibility of the College not only to provide evaluation
of faculty members, but also to provide faculty with systematic support for improvement of instruction.
All performance evaluations should foster building relationships based on trust, mutual commitment, and team effort.
Intellectual honesty, rigor, and fairness are essential throughout the process. This system is designed so that individual
faculty members are responsible for their own instructional improvement. Such a process ultimately will result in a better
teaching and learning environment.
The Faculty Evaluation is oriented toward both summative and formative ends and promoting excellence in teaching and
learning; that is, toward each instructor's individual development and improvementtoward doing better what we believe
we already are doing well. Though this plan serves as a mechanism for evaluating job performance, it is not intended to
be a punitive or disciplinary instrument.
