This second edition expands and updates the discussion of the differences among the disciplines; interdisciplinary and collaborative work; special assignments; documenting scholarly, professional, and creative work; and the professional portfolio. While maintaining its practical, comprehensive approach, it also provides new information on

• Technology and the changing roles of faculty
• The importance of assessing faculty collegiality
• Documenting an instructional innovation or use of technology
• The narrative portions of the teaching portfolio
• Two new disciplinary statements
• Documenting effectiveness and impact as a member of a team
• Characteristic models for describing faculty scholarship

The book is organized into two parts:

Part I consists of some basic principles for committee members; important consideration of such issues as existing policies and statements relating to promotion and tenure and the priorities of the institution and academic unit; and documenting and assessing faculty work.

Part II features disciplinary statements on the work of faculty; useful references and resources; and examples of how to document a range of nonresearch-related faculty’s scholarly and professional activities.
