Evaluating Improving and Judging Faculty Performance in Two-Year Colleges

With nearly 48 percent of all U.S. undergraduates attending community and technical colleges the two-year sector is an integral part of our nation's higher education system and a vital part of our nation's future. The need for effective faculty evaluation and professional development within two-year colleges stems partly from the size of this sector and also from the diversity of its program offerings and its student body. Miller and his co-authors bring timely authoritative and practical material to two audiences in this rapidly growing field of education: first teachers who have permanent appointments but could use professional development and improvement; and second the already large and still growing number of part-time instructors who could use more evaluating and improving. This book is intended to be a direct assistance for these groups as well as to administrators who must make personal decisions.This professional book is for human resource managers and staff development officers of two-year colleges. A greater emphasis needs to be placed on human resource management according to Miller and his co-authors that will result in better personnel decision making.
