Faculty Evaluations
Faculty Evaluation Orientation
Faculty evaluation procedures differ based on if a faculty member is Tenured, Tenure-Track or Adjunct. To assist faculty and staff in understanding procedures and processes, the Skyline College Evaluation Guidance Committee has provided a Fall 2026 Instructional PowerPoint and Spring 2026 Instructional PowerPoint . Below are both video presentations.
You can find copies of the procedures and forms required for evaluation at the AFT 1493 website or at the SMCCCD Evaluation Procedures website.
