Many school reforms have been mandated by state and national legislation over a thirty-year period. Accountable Teacher Evaluation provides the blueprint necessary to assure that highly qualified and competent teachers will be present in every classroom. Competence is manifested in classroom teaching and delivery to students and in student outcomes. Evaluation of faculty by competent administrators is necessary to document either competency or lack of competency in classroom teaching.

Edited by Desna L. WallinForeword by George R. BoggsA major issue for most community and technical colleges is providing part-time faculty with appropriate support and pedagogical assistance. Academic administrators are responsible for the hiring and direct supervision of adjunct faculty, but a number of factors—such as lack of current teaching experience or preoccupation with other administrative functions—may keep them from sufficiently providing for the needs of this critical group. This book provides models of support for adjunct faculty and highlight the important connection between teaching quality and effective hiring, orientation, acculturation, and professional development practices for adjunct faculty.
