Jim,
At Troy University we do exactly that. Each year faculty are evaluated formally by their department chair and submit a self-evaluation and a Professional Development Plan. Evaluations must be reviewed with the faculty and they sign off on the evaluation form. Non-tenured faculty are evaluated annually; tenured faculty are evaluated every 3 years. Adjunct faculty are also evaluated annually and after the first term that they teach for the university.

> 3. How can we help you meet your goals?

> 2. What core capabilities are you trying to
