Promotion/Continuing Status Review for Teaching Stream Faculty
UTFA Hosts: Kim MacKinnon, Chair, Teaching Stream Committee & Sherri Helwig, Vice-President, Grievances
Co-presented by UTFA, Megan Burnett of CTSI, and Danielle Sandhu, Counsel at Goldblatt Partners
June 20, 2024, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Open to Teaching Stream members of the Association
Please register here.
This workshop helps Teaching Stream members prepare for the interim review and the continuing status review. It is designed to demystify review procedures and includes the following:
- Useful tips from teaching dossier experts
- An overview of relevant University review procedures
- A forum to share and exchange strategies toward compiling a successful file
The workshop will cover the policies and procedures for the review processes as outlined in the Policies and Procedures on Academic Appointments (PPAA). It will be most appropriate for full-time faculty at the Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream rank. The workshop will not focus on issues that are particular to promotion to Professor, Teaching Stream, and it will not cover continuing appointment reviews for part-time faculty, who follow a different policy.
Sincerely,
Kim MacKinnon
Chair, Teaching Stream Committee, UTFA
