====== Pattern of Administration ====== \\ While editing the handbook, if you experience any issues or need to roll-back a revision please email [[sehdhelp@ucdenver.edu?subject=Wiki Request|sehdhelp@ucdenver.edu]]\\ ===== Introduction and Purpose ===== This document provides a description of the School of Education and Human Development (SEHD) and its policies and procedures. It supplements the policies and procedures of the University to which the School and its faculty and staff are subject. The rules, policies and procedures, and changes in the above‐mentioned documents take precedence over statements in this document. The primary intended purpose of the Pattern of Administration (POA) is to serve as a current record of SEHD organization and SEHD standard operating procedures. It is a reference intended for administrators, staff, and faculty, as well as an orienting guide for new hires. As a repository of current SEHD policies and practices, it also may inform additional audiences. This Pattern of Administration is subject to continuing revision. At a minimum, it must be reviewed and either revised or reaffirmed on appointment or reappointment of the Dean. However, revisions may be made at any time. Proposed changes and updates, which will be made in consultation with the School faculty and staff, will be located under the Policies tab in the SEHD Impact. Although the Bylaws do not require a formal vote by the faculty to accept the POA, the Dean will attempt to reach consensus on the developed POA. All revisions are subject to approval by the Dean. ===== Overview of the SEHD ===== ===== School’s Mission and Vision ===== The mission of the School of Education and Human Development is ‘Leadership for Educational Equity’. This mission is realized through our goal to “prepare and inspire education and mental health leaders to have a profound impact in fostering student opportunity, achievement and success in urban and diverse communities. The vision of the SEHD is to be, “A leading school of education providing national expertise on educational issues and socially-just solutions for urban and diverse communities. Through innovative research and partnerships, we strive to be passionate agents of change, inspiring upcoming generations to learn from the past and shape the future.” ===== SEHD Programs, Degrees, Licenses and Endorsements ===== //See the // [[:handbooks:faculty_handbook|SEHD Faculty Handbook]]//**.** // ====== Organization of the SEHD ====== An '''organizational chart '''illustrating the roles and relationships within the structure of the SEHD is included in Appendix A.

The Office was created to address both the short-term needs of the 2013 national and state accreditation reviews and the longer term goals of promoting and nurturing a culture of formative evaluation within the SEHD in terms of using outcomes data to drive programmatic and operational decision-making. The office develops and oversees the systems infrastructure necessary to allow and encourage faculty participation in research associated with School outcomes, namely the impact of our graduates on P-12 student learning, our graduates’ knowledge of content and content pedagogy, our graduates’ performance as educators, the persistence of our graduates in the education profession, and the leadership roles assumed by our graduates. Related to state and national accreditation activities, it is also responsibility of this Office to communicate and coordinate SEHD activities for the annual University Higher Learning Commission (HLC) report and to write the annual SEHD HLC report based on student learning outcomes. This office fulfills all external data reporting requirements for federal, national, and state agencies. Internally, the Office maintains the official assessment records for current and former students, academic program assessments and management of databases that track relevant assessment data across all programs. ==== Assessment and Program Improvement Contacts ==== **Mary Lovit, **//Assessment Systems Manager & Senior Data Analyst// \\ mary.lovit@ucdenver.edu\\ 303-315-6346 **Julie Oxenford O’Brian,** //Executive Director of Assessment and Program Improvement// \\ julie.obrian@ucdenver.edu\\ 303-315-6352 ===== Finance and Budget ===== ==== Fiscal support staff ==== |**Patricia Ball, **//Assistant Dean of Finance and Human Resources// |**315-4947, **LSC 1143| |**Hiromi Agena**, //Associate Director of Finance// |**315-6320, **LSC 1121| |**Patricia Ball, **//Interim SEHD Grants and Contracts Administration// |**315-4947, **LSC 1143| |**Daisy Salazar, **//Accountant// |**315-4921**, LSC 1122| |**Keiko Goldman, **//Finance & HR Business Services Coordinator// |**315-4921**, LSC 1122| |**Erdenechukhal (Jamie) Purevsuren**, //Grants & Contracts Business Services Coordinator// |**315-6318, **LSC 604| ==== Services and Employee Expenses ==== All personnel hiring, services and scope of work purchases must be pre-approved BEFORE the work has started. Please contact **Daisy Salazar** for general fund, extended studies, and professional development account purchases and services, **Hiromi Agena** for payroll related hiring and additional pay, and **Jamie Purevsuren** for grant related purchases. If prior approval has not been obtained before the work or service begins, the University may deny reimbursement and this could become a personal expense to you. ==== Expense Reimbursement ==== All purchases must have prior approval from the budget authority (generally a faculty member’s program representative or their Associate Dean or the Dean) before reimbursements will be processed. This is best done through email with the approval copied or sent to the finance team. Original itemized receipts should be submitted to your corresponding Concur delegate. Contact **Daisy Salazar** for general fund, extended studies and professional development account purchases and services, and **Jamie Purevsuren** for grant related purchases. ==== General Purchasing and Supplies ==== **__When making a general purchase (see below for Technology Purchasing) using professional development funds or program funds:__ ** - **FIRST**, contact your corresponding Concur delegate to ensure the funds are available; this must be done prior to purchase. Contact **Daisy Salazar** for general fund, extended studies and professional development account purchases, and **Jamie Purevsuren** for grant related purchases. - **SECOND**, submit a purchase/procurement request to by filling out the form found here: [[https://goo.gl/59eUaO|https://goo.gl/59eUaO]]. //Supplies must be ordered through the state vendor, STAPLES, through our CU Marketplace vendor system. // Business cards should be ordered using the following link: [[http://www.ucdenver.edu/about/departments/printing/Pages/OnlineOrdering.aspx|http://www.ucdenver.edu/about/departments/printing/Pages/OnlineOrdering.aspx]] The School does not have a general account to pay for these items; expense approval by a budget authority (Program representative or Associate Dean) must be obtained prior to ordering. Program or Professional Development (PD) funds can be used for this purchase. ==== Event Purchasing ==== All event purchasing is made using a faculty member PCARD or through personal funds. Reimbursements are to be made through **Daisy Salazar**. ==== Travel Procedures ==== Faculty members are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. Faculty and staff need to FIRST check with their Program Leader or supervisor to determine if planned travel is covered by the program budget, or **Daisy Salazar** if covered by their own professional development funds. In the case of externally funded projects, the Principal Investigator (PI) should be consulted. It should NEVER be assumed that travel will be covered through the university without first checking with the appropriate source. Following is a link to the Procurement Service Center website which answers all questions about travel including a step by step guide: [[https://www.cu.edu/psc/payables/travel.htm|https://www.cu.edu/psc/payables/travel.htm]]__.__ If additional assistance is needed, please email [[SEHDHELP@UCDENVER.EDU|SEHDHELP@UCDENVER.EDU]]. ==== Main Points to Remember ==== - You must receive authorization from your Program Leader, Supervisor or Associate Dean **__before__** incurring travel expenses. You must also receive approval from the Dean if traveling internationally. If you are using PD funds, please check with Daisy Salazar to ensure you have adequate funds. - Travel on sponsored program (grant) money requires approval from the SEHD Office of Grants and Contracts – contact Bolormaa Begzsuren with any questions. - If you plan on traveling frequently, apply for the corporate liability travel card (See US Bank Travel Card below). Training must be completed before this card is issued. Please see Daisy Salazar for card applications. - You must book your travel through the online Concur system (accessed through UCD Access) or directly through Christopherson Travel. - You **CANNOT **use your travel card to pay for conference registrations. Please use your P-card. The travel card should be used for hotel and all other travel related expenses WHILE IN TRAVEL STATUS (e.g. meals, transportation, etc.) - You may use your travel card for meals but you should not exceed the applicable per diem rate for the locale in which you are traveling. If you exceed this amount, you will have to reimburse the University for the difference. If you pay for food using personal funds, you will be reimbursed up to or for the applicable per diem rate for the locale in which you are traveling. If the meal expense exceeds this amount, this is a personal expense to you and you will not be reimbursed. - **__Keep itemized receipts for ALL expenses.__** You will have to submit a conference agenda for any conference related expenses. The agenda must include a schedule of the conference including the meals that were provided by the conference. - When you return, please immediately submit all receipts to your Concur delegate. Contact **Daisy Salazar** for general fund and professional development account purchases, **Jamie Purevsuren** for grant related purchases and **Jenna Ronnebaum** for Extended Studies purchasing and services. - You should reimburse CU for any personal expenses on your travel card at the time when you turn in your receipts, or if you have enough per diem to cover these expenses, your per diem will be reduced by this amount. - **Your travel expenses __MUST__ be reallocated within 90 days of the end of your trip or this becomes taxable income to you. This is a firm deadline that cannot be changed. Please allow your Concur delegate 2-3 weeks before the 90 day deadline to submit reimbursements on your behalf.** ==== US Bank Travel Card ==== The U.S. Bank Travel Card is the State Travel Card. All University employees who travel on business for the University should apply for the card and use it for all travel-related expenses. Please note that this card is a University card and the traveler is responsible for retaining all receipts and turning them in to your Concur delegate for reallocation as soon as possible once your travel is complete. These expenses do not generate email reminders the same way the P-card does and will sit in the system and not hit a speedtype until reallocated. This may result in budgets being inaccurate and additional work at year end for the finance staff. Please see Tim Halliday if you wish to request this card. \\ \\ There is a **very handy Concur smartphone application** that will allow you to take a photo of and upload receipts directly to the Concur system as you travel. You can also initiate travel with this application. Once you have downloaded the application, your user ID will be your Employee ID @cu.edu (for example 123456@cu.edu). Before you can login to this app, you must go to the concur system on your computer and take the following steps: * Once logged in, click the profile link and let the whole screen come up or choose mobile registration. If the whole screen comes up –go the bottom left and choose mobile registration. * Click the blue link that says “create a mobile PIN”- this will be the PIN that you use to login to the app. * Again your user ID will be your EID@cu.edu. * If you have any problems with the app, please call the help desk at 303-837-2161. ==== Conference Registration ==== University travelers often find that they need to prepay registration fees for a conference or meeting they plan to attend. How the expense is submitted—for direct payment to the vendor, or for reimbursement to the traveler—varies according to the timing of the payment and the needs of the vendor. The possible vehicles for payment are (1) the Procurement Card (P-Card), or (2) fill out a purchasing request here: **[[https://forms.ucdenver.edu/secure/sehd_conference_registration|https://forms.ucdenver.edu/secure/sehd_conference_registration**]]** so that an on-line payment can be made for you or (3) pay for the registration yourself and submit the receipt to Daisy Salazar for reimbursement. ==== Maximum Meal Reimbursement ==== Meal reimbursement is for the actual cost of the traveler’s meals. To ensure these costs are reasonable, actual costs are limited to a Maximum Meal Reimbursement amount specific to the geographic travel location. The State of Colorado’s Maximum Allowable Meal Per Diem Rates represent the University’s Maximum Meal Reimbursement amount; for maximum allowable rates, refer to [[https://www.cu.edu/psc/payables/travel.htm|https://www.cu.edu/psc/payables/travel.htm]] and go to Per Diem Meal Rate on the right side of the webpage. Part of daily M & I (Meals and Incidental Expenses) is per diem. Dollar limits for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, are determined by the traveler’s destination. The meal per diem represents the maximum reimbursable amount for eligible meals during the course of a university business trip. Meal reimbursement is not allowed if adequate meals are included with lodging, as part of conference/registration fees, or otherwise provided to the traveler at no cost. Amounts in excess of meal per diems are not reimbursable unless part of a required official function. **//NOTE// **//: Tips on meals are included in these amounts and cannot be claimed separately.// Receipts are not required when claiming per diem. On days of travel, the final destination for the day determines the traveler’s per diem rate all day. On the day traveler returns home, the city from which the traveler leaves determines the per diem rate. On begin and end travel days, reimbursement cannot exceed 75% of the daily M&I per diem rate. ==== Meals During Single-Day Trip ==== If travel is wholly within a single day and the trip lasts 12 hours or more, then meal reimbursement is allowed. Reimbursement cannot exceed 75% of the daily M&I per diem rate. Per IRS regulations, meal reimbursements for single-day trips are reportable as income for CU employees. ==== Student Travel ==== All student travel must be approved prior to making any travel arrangements by the faculty member or program paying for their expenses. Students are able to book their flight through Concur Travel & Expense System or Christopherson as long as they are provided with a speed type. Students are also able to submit a conference registration request using the SEHD Impact Form ([[https://ucdenverdata.formstack.com/forms/sehd_conference_registration|https://ucdenverdata.formstack.com/forms/sehd_conference_registration]]__) to have the conference registration handled by and paid for by SEHD. For all other expenses, students will have to use personal funds and then submit receipts for reimbursement upon their return to the corresponding Concur delegate. __Contact **Daisy Salazar** for general fund, extended studies and professional development account purchases and services, and **Jamie Purevsuren** for grant related purchases. ==== In-State Travel Procedures ==== All travelers on University business—faculty, staff, students, and non-employees—will follow these procedures when in travel status within the state and in the immediate area outside Colorado that is a necessary part of an otherwise in-state trip: The traveler must always obtain prior approval to travel; for in-state travel, this approval may be verbal. In accordance with Internal Revenue Service requirements, the following reimbursements will be reported to the IRS as income: * Reimbursements that were not submitted through Concur within 90 days after the last day of travel completion; and, * Advances issued by the University if the subsequent Travel Voucher reconciling the advance was not submitted within 30 days of trip completion. (If the traveler needs to repay the University for a too-large advance, then this repayment must be made by personal check at the time that the Concur travel report is submitted.) ==== Out-of-State Travel Procedures ==== Please refer to [[https://www.cu.edu/psc/payables/travel.htm|https://www.cu.edu/psc/payables/travel.htm]] for information on vehicle rental, lodging deposits, mileage reimbursements and travel advances and International travel. **Reimbursement is NOT appropriate for:** * On-campus parking (Be sure to apply for re-entry privileges if you come & go to prevent payment more than once a day.) * Parking tickets from the police * Driving off-campus to have lunch with other professionals, even for purposes of business * Lunch with SEHD/University colleagues * Other expenses that are denied by a dean (Please check in advance if you think there will be any concerns or questions!) ==== Frequently Addressed Travel Issues ==== | \\ **Alcoholic Beverages:** Not reimbursable in general; only covered when part of an official function, when entertainment account funds are available, and when proper University signatures have been obtained IN ADVANCE! This requires an Official Function form regardless of dollar amount. Not to be paid with sponsored project funds unless authorized by the sponsor.| | \\ **Lodging-Staying with Friends**: Travelers who arrange private lodging (staying with friends/family) can be reimbursed up to $25/day for associated costs.| | \\ **Mileage-Personal Vehicle: **Reimbursable, using the current State rate of $0.59 per mile, $.62 a mile for 4-wheel drive vehicles (when necessary for road conditions at the time of travel).| | \\ **Mileage vs. Airfare-Traveler’s Option**: Traveler will be reimbursed for driving cost (mileage, lodging, meal per diems) up to actual total flight cost (transportation to/from DIA, airfare, destination ground transportation). Calculation of airfare cost is based on lowest obtainable 14-day advance fare. If the traveler is planning on purchasing a flight outside of Concur, please talk to Daisy Salazar for required documentation to make sure reimbursement won’t be a problem. Traveler must declare annual leave for any additional days required as a result of alternative travel. Additional Information may be required.| | \\ **Parking: **Reimbursable when it is a necessary part of the trip, e.g., parking at traveler’s destination, parking at DIA.| | \\ **Personal Expenses**: Expenses incurred for traveler’s benefit—e.g., magazines, dry cleaning, movie rentals, other entertainment—are NOT reimbursable.| | \\ **Procurement Card**: University Visa. Not used for travel expenses. Exception: Can be used for conference/event registration, if accepted by vendor.| | \\ **Receipts: **Travelers must submit original itemized receipts (credit card receipts/statements are not acceptable) for all individual charges. Exceptions: All rental vehicle gas receipts are required regardless of dollar amount. All receipts are required for lodging expenses incurred except Lodging-Staying with Friends. No receipts are needed to claim meal per diems. //NOTE//: The University is requesting an exemption from this rule. We will keep you updated on the status of the request.| | \\ **Rental Car Expense: **Rental Cars must be rented using the University travel card because it automatically provides insurance coverage. The following is a link to the State’s rental car policy which lists approved automobile rental vendors and other information about each vendor. [[http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/DPA-DCS/PA/1201542229336|http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/DPA-DCS/PA/1201542229336]]| | \\ Receipts are always required for reimbursement of car rental costs and for rental car gasoline purchases regardless of dollar amount. (Note: If travel is covered by sponsored project funds, rental vehicle use will be determined by sponsor policies and may not be allowed).| | \\ **Tax Implications**: Per IRS regulations, the Concur expense reallocation and all supporting documentation must be received in the PSC Travel Office within 90 days of trip completion to avoid having reimbursement reported as income.| | \\ **Telephone/Fax/Modem Line Charges**: Charges for University business are reimbursable. You will receive $5.00 per day in incidentals – which includes any personal telephone charges.| | \\ **Tips**: Reasonable tips given to bellhops, porters, maids, and ground transportation personnel are reimbursable. Exception: Tips on meal service already included in the meal allowance and cannot be claimed separately. University Policy limits tips up to 20%.| | \\ **Toll Road Charges: **These charges are a reimbursable expense only if they are not part of the daily commute.| ==== Program and Administrative Unit Spending and Budgets ==== Administrative managers and program representatives will receive a program budget template at the beginning of the fiscal year for use in planning their budget for the year. Zero-based budgeting is used in the formulation of both these budgets (i.e. starting from scratch). The requested budget will then be reviewed by the Assistant Dean and the Dean. Approved budgets will then be entered into the PeopleSoft system and spending should be monitored by the program or administrative unit manager. At fiscal year-end (6/30/XX) remaining funds for administrative units do NOT roll forward to the next year. Remaining program funds roll forward year after year. Program budgets should only include items that pertain to the program as a whole and not expenses for individual faculty. For example, a retreat or marketing expense for the benefit of the program would be an appropriate program expense. A faculty member’s conference travel, registration fee or membership dues to various organizations would not be an appropriate program expense but would be an appropriate expense for faculty professional development funds. Please call **Daisy Salazar** to obtain your professional development fund balance prior to making purchases. If you have any additional questions about the SEHD financial system or processes, please feel free to call any of the fiscal staff for assistance. And if you are unsure about the how, why or who for anything please start with the fiscal staff listed above. ====== Human Resources and Payroll ====== ===== SEHD HR and Payroll Staff ===== ==== Workgroup Members & Major Responsibilities ==== |**Patricia Ball** \\ //Assistant Dean of Finance and HR // |LSC 1143 \\ 303-315-4947 \\ [[PATRICIA.BALL@UCDENVER.EDU|PATRICIA.BALL@UCDENVER.EDU]]| | |**Kelley Patient** \\ //Human Resources and Payroll Manager// | \\ 303-315-0010 \\ \\ 303-335-9567 \\ \\ [[KELLEY.PATIENT@UCDENVER.EDU|KELLEY.PATIENT@UCDENVER.EDU]]|Initiates personnel actions; including recruiting, hiring, promotions, staff additional pay, progressive discipline, etc. Responsible for staff performance management – professional plans and evaluations, coordinating lecturer pay, FML, Leave of Absence, Worker’s Comp, and Immigration.| |**Hiromi Agena** \\ //Associate Director of Budget and Finance// |LSC 1121 \\ 303-315-6320 \\ [[HIROMI.AGENA@UCDENVER.EDU|HIROMI.AGENA@UCDENVER.EDU]]|Handles faculty payrolls; including faculty additional pay and coordinating summer pay.

Tenure may be awarded only to faculty members who are employed by the University and who have demonstrated meritorious performance in each of the three areas of teaching, research/creative work, and leadership and service, and demonstrated excellence in either teaching or research/creative work. (Footnote: In the School of Medicine, tenure may be awarded only to faculty members with national or international reputations who have also demonstrated excellence in scholarship and teaching. See Regent Law 5.B.4.) Once attained, tenure remains in effect regardless of promotion to higher rank. Administrative positions do not carry the possibility of tenured appointments and, unless under a properly authorized term contract, are at will positions, but an administrator holding an eligible academic rank may be granted a tenured appointment as a faculty member. All tenured and tenure-track faculty members with appointments of 50% or more are members of the system-wide Faculty Senate. Faculty members in the tenure track have limited term contracts. In the School of Medicine, tenure-eligible faculty members in the tenure track, may have limited, indeterminate or at will appointments. Once tenured, a faculty member holds a continuous appointment until retirement or resignation unless the faculty member leaves the university or is removed under provisions of the Laws of the Regents or Regent policy. **Assistant Professor:** Assistant Professors appointed to tenure track positions should have the terminal degree appropriate to their field or its equivalent, plus some teaching experience. They should be well-qualified to teach at the undergraduate or graduate levels and possess qualifications for research or scholarship in a special field or clinical discipline. **Associate Professor**: Associate Professors should have the terminal degree appropriate to their field or its equivalent, considerable successful teaching experience, and promising accomplishment in scholarship or in research. Normally the award of tenure accompanies appointment to or promotion to associate professor, except at the School of Medicine where tenure may be granted at any point in the faculty member’s career when he/she meets the School’s standards for tenure. **Professor**: Professors (also called “Full Professors”) should have the terminal degree appropriate to their field or its equivalent, and; (a) a record that, taken as a whole, may be judged to be excellent; (b) a record of significant contribution to graduate and/or undergraduate education, unless individual or departmental circumstances can be shown to require a stronger emphasis, or singular focus, on one or the other; and © a record since receiving tenure or promotion to Associate Professor that indicates substantial, significant, and continued growth, development, and accomplishment in teaching, research/creative work, and leadership and service. **NON-TENURE TRACK FACULTY** All non-tenure track faculty members are at will employees. **Lecturer**: Lecturer is the title given to individuals hired to teach on a course-by-course basis. Lecturers are qualified to teach the particular course or courses for which they have been hired. They should have graduate degrees and/or advanced experience in their profession or field of expertise. Lecturers are hired on a part-time basis to teach one or more courses per term. Lecturers within SEHD may teach up to six credits per term. There are no research or service activities expectations for lecturers. **Instructor**: Instructors usually have their master’s degree or its equivalent and should be otherwise well-qualified to teach. Full-time instructors within SEHD teach 8 courses (4 courses per semester). Instructors within SEHD are expected to engage in service activities (20% of load) within the program and school community. **Senior Instructor**: The rank of Senior Instructor permits higher recognition and salary than that of Instructor. Within the SEHD, senior instructors usually have a doctoral degree or its equivalent when hired. Instructors who receive their doctoral degree after being hired in SEHD may be promoted to Senior Instructor upon completion of a doctoral degree. Full-time senior instructors within SEHD teach 8 courses (4 courses per semester).

This policy sets forth the minimum requirements for faculty academic credentials in SEHD and faculty experience equivalent in the event a proposed instructor does not possess the required degree credentials. Other criteria may apply to specific faculty positions and thus are outlined elsewhere in those job descriptions. **Academic Credentials ** Academic credentials are the primary basis SEHD uses for determining faculty quality. In general, SEHD courses are taught by faculty who possess an EdD, PhD, or other terminal degrees with experience and training in the relevant subject areas. The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) credentials refer to the degrees that faculty have earned. HLC common expectations for faculty credentials in higher education include the following: * Faculty teaching in higher education institutions should have completed a program of study in the discipline or subfield* (as applicable) in which they teach, and/or for which they develop curricula, with coursework at least one level above that of the courses being taught or developed. Completion of a degree in a specific field enhances an instructor’s depth of subject matter knowledge and is easily identifiable. * Faculty teaching in undergraduate programs should hold a degree at least one level above that of the program in which they are teaching. If a faculty member holds a master’s degree or higher in a discipline other than that in which he or she is teaching, that faculty member should have completed a minimum of 18 graduate credit hours in the discipline in which he or she is teaching. * Faculty teaching in graduate programs should hold the terminal degree determined by the discipline and have a record of research, scholarship or achievement appropriate for the graduate program. * Faculty guiding doctoral education should have a record of scholarship and preparation to teach at the doctoral level. Research and scholarship should be appropriate to the program and degree offered. Refer to The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) for specific HLC information on faculty roles and qualifications, [[https://www.hlcommission.org/Policies/assumed-practices.html|https://www.hlcommission.org/Policies/assumed-practices.html]] SEHD policy adheres to the HLC guidelines. See minimum qualifications for each academic level below. **Undergraduate Faculty/Lecturer Minimum Qualifications ** * M.A. or M.S. in Education, Human Development, Family Relations, or a closely related discipline, or * B.A. or B.S. in Education, Human Development, Family Relations, or a closely related discipline, AND a M.A. or M.S. in any field in addition to at least 18 graduate level credit hours in Education or a closely related discipline, or * If the Master’s Degree is in an unrelated field, the candidate must have a minimum of 5 years of successful experience in the field related to the course documented on the CV. Candidates need to supply some evidence (e.g., subject matter expertise or leadership expertise) of experience. **Graduate Faculty/Lecturer Minimum Qualification ** //**MA Degree Programs ** // * PhD, EdD, PsyD in Education, Counseling, Human Development, Family Relations, or closely related disciple field area. * If the terminal degree is in an unrelated field, the candidate must demonstrate experience in the field related to the course documented on the CV Candidates need to supply some evidence of experience (e.g., subject matter expertise or leadership expertise). * If the candidate does not have a terminal degree, the candidate must have a M.A. or M.S. AND a minimum of 5 years of successful experience in the field related to the course documented on the CV. Candidates need to supply some evidence (e.g., teaching experience, school principal, board certified counselor, etc.) of experience //**PhD, EdD, PsyD ** // * PhD, EdD, PsyD in Education, Counseling, Human Development, Family Relations, or closely related disciple field area. * If the doctorate degree is in an unrelated field, the candidate must demonstrate at least 18 graduate level credit hours in related discipline and/or 5 years’ experience in the field related to the course documented on the CV. Candidates need to supply some evidence (e.g., subject matter expertise or leadership expertise) of experience. **Minimum Tested Experience/Professional Qualifications ** HLC states, “Tested experience may substitute for an earned credential or portions thereof. Assumed Practice B.2. allows an institution to determine that a faculty member is qualified based on experience that the institution determines is equivalent to the degree it would otherwise require for a faculty position”. SEHD considers the instructor’s professional experience in real-world situations relevant to the degree and the specific course, and must possess both breadth across a variety of circumstances and depth in terms of progressive responsibilities. Relevant types of qualifying professional experience will differ depending upon the nature of the program and course, but generally will include one or both of the following: * Subject matter expertise: the person possesses extensive professional skills and expertise related to the field of the degree program and the subject of the course, demonstrated through the holding of substantive professional positions in the field and a record of professional accomplishment showing the mastery of topics and skills taught in the course. * Leadership expertise: the person demonstrates exceptional leadership ability in the relevant domain, established by current and past positions with seniority, responsibility, importance, impact, and title. Titles indicating leadership expertise, depending on the course taught, including, but not limited to: principal, assistant principal, superintendent, associate superintendent, director president, chief executive officer, director, associate director, manager, chief, founder, and elected official titles. **Determining Faculty Qualifications through Tested Experience ** Each program leader, or his/her designee, is responsible for evaluating the qualifications of lecturer candidates who wish to teach in the program, based on the criteria listed above. In the case of lecturers who do not possess the required academic credentials, the program leader will consult with an associate dean to ensure that the lecturer is otherwise qualified in terms of professional experience. The Curriculum Committee and Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs reviews and approve applications for faculty appointment. The following items are required: * 2 letters of recommendation and * Current resume/CV * FCQs or similar student evaluations of past teaching (if available) Initial appointments are approved for one year. In order to be approved for a 3-year appointment, the instructor must have a proven success record (FCQs). The professional resumes/CV and any other required documentation for all approved lecturers shall be maintained by SEHD Human Resources and Curriculum Committee. **Process for Documenting Equivalent Experience** Instructors who do not have the appropriate degree or 18 credits in the specific content area can meet requirements through documenting ‘tested experience’ as defined below. 1) Documentation from the candidate that establishes experience in the content area (professional development) * Presentations made in professional contexts * Continuing education credits * Workshops attended * Workshops presented * Evidence of products created that are relevant to the field * Other 2) Evidence of relevant field experience * Years of experience in the specific area * Years of leadership in the area (instructional coach, curriculum expert, etc.) 3) Professional letters of recommendation speaking directly to experience in the specified content area and experience as outlined in 1 and 2 above 4) If relevant, evidence of student satisfaction in working with adult learners (such as FCQ scores of 4.0 or higher for renewal candidates). ==== Employee Tuition Benefit ==== To view policies, eligibility, procedures, forms, and deadlines, please visit CU Employee Services website: [[https://www.cu.edu/employee-services/tuition-benefit-denver-anschutz-campus|https://www.cu.edu/employee-services/tuition-benefit-denver-anschutz-campus]] ==== Hiring Process ==== New employees must complete the hiring process with the SEHD HR and Payroll Coordinator.

As of August 2022, appointment contract dates will align with the academic year. For example, for academic year 2022-2023, pay dates will be August 15, 2022 through May 12, 2023. It is important to note that faculty contracts include the stipulation that they will begin work one week prior to the first day of each semester. Faculty may elect to have their nine-month salary spread over nine months or over twelve months: * 9 pay 9: Partial paycheck in August (start date is week before classes begin), equal paychecks between September and April, partial paycheck in May (end date is commencement). * 9 pay 12: Partial paycheck in August (start date is week before classes begin), equal paychecks between September and July, partial paycheck in August (end date is the Friday before the AY 2023-24 contract starts) Faculty contract payment schedule election runs annually in May, June, and part of July for each coming academic year. (This is a separate process from benefits enrollment in the UCD Access portal.) Once the choice has been communicated and payroll entered for the year, it cannot be changed until the next academic year. Please contact [[SEHDHR@ucdenver.edu|SEHDHR@ucdenver.edu]] if the form is not available in your employee portal, or if you have any questions. ==== Faculty Summer Pay ==== Employees who are appointed for 12 months (deans, 12 month research faculty, professional exempt staff and classified staff) are paid during the summer as they are during the academic year. Faculty with separate summer appointments are paid on varying schedules according to their assignments. The basis of summer pay is the number of credit hours of the course at the Dean’s discretion. Currently, a faculty member will receive $6,000 per three credit hour course (up to two courses) that meets minimum enrollment. Teaching more than two courses requires Dean's approval and will be paid at Lecturer rate. Please note that under-enrolled courses may be canceled and pay is prorated for under-enrolled courses that have not been canceled. Faculty may earn up to 3/9ths (33.33%) of their previous academic year salary in the summer, through teaching, administrative, and grant pay. Pay is usually distributed equally across June and July. Per the campus faculty compensation policy, faculty are allowed to receive up to 1/9th (11.11%) of their AY salary each month in the summer. **SUMMER PAY & PRO-RATE CALCULATIONS FOR TENURED/TENURE-TRACK FACULTY** For undergraduate & graduate level courses: * $6,000 (Full pay) * $4,000 (8-11 students enrolled) * $3,000 OR CANCEL (7 or fewer students enrolled) For doctoral level courses: * $6,000 (Full pay) * $4,000 (6-9 students enrolled) * $3,000 OR CANCEL (MINIMUM of 5 students enrolled) ==== Faculty Additional Remuneration ==== Faculty members must submit a completed Additional Pay Pre-Approval form to the SEHD Payroll Liaison (Hiromi Agena) **at least two weeks prior** to starting the work (we request as much lead time as possible).

The Student Employment website has a number of resources available: [[https://www.ucdenver.edu/lynxconnect/career-center/student-employment|https://www.ucdenver.edu/lynxconnect/career-center/student-employment]] We want to especially highlight the limit of hours worked: Effective July 1, 2015, the Student Employee Work Hours Administrative Policy limits the amount of hours students may work each semester across the CU system (Anschutz, Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs) to: **Fall (16 weeks, August – December) – 25 hours/max (or 50 hours per biweekly pay period)** **Spring (16 weeks, January – May) – 25 hours/max (or 50 hours per biweekly pay period)** **Summer (10 weeks, June – August) – 40 hours/max**. In accordance with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) regulations, international students may not work more than 20 hours per week—in total , regardless of the number of positions—while classes are in session during the Fall and Spring semesters. Student employees who exceed the work hour limits (across all jobs, across all campuses) may become eligible for employee health benefits under the Affordable Care Act. In the event a student employee becomes eligible for benefits under the Affordable Care Act, employer benefits contributions will be proportionately charged to the department(s) where the student was employed when the limits were exceeded, regardless of where the student is currently employed. Departments may also be subject to additional administrative charges as a violation of this policy subjects the University to additional exposure under the Affordable Care Act. **Supervisor Responsibility:** Supervisors are responsible for communicating policy to their student employees. Students are responsible for communicating with their supervisor if they are no longer students or are scheduled to work more than the maximum total work hours allowed for all jobs. For biweekly students who track hours worked in MyLeave, the Supervisor will review and approve timesheets in MyLeave.

Those experiences have drawn them to this urban university and have shaped our organizational and moral commitment to respecting diversity and pursuing equity. SEHD faculty believes that lives are forever changed with access to excellent education and quality mental health services. As a public university, we are committed to increasing educational opportunities among underserved populations. The Denver metro area population, indeed the population in the state and nation, is rapidly becoming more racially, culturally and ethnically diverse. It is our responsibility and commitment to prepare educators and counselors who represent diverse groups. It is also our responsibility to prepare all educators and counselors to provide culturally responsive educational and mental health services for the increasing diversity of our society. Finally, diversity of action, research and viewpoints (ways of knowing and expressing knowledge) is fundamental in universities. This type of diversity keeps our democracy alive. Diversity gives rise to new knowledge and new ways of thinking, a key function of a university. Thus, we believe that diversity is fundamental to the university and to our School. In partnership with SEHD faculty and the SEHD Diversity Committee, we strive to promote a climate of equity and enhance diversity and inclusiveness initiatives internally. SEHD also seeks assistance and support from the university’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion, (for more information see the [[http://www.ucdenver.edu/about/departments/odi/Pages/default.aspx|Office of Diversity and Inclusion]]). ====== The Office of Recruitment & Outreach ====== SEHD aspires to attract a diverse, highly qualified, and critically engaged student body. Through proactive engagement of local, national and international communities, ORO provides general information about our school’s academic offerings, research, financial aid resources, and student support services. We accomplish this through superior customer service, proactive outreach and follow-up, information sessions, fairs, and pipeline programs offered throughout the calendar year. Faculty, staff, students and alumni participate regularly in all recruitment initiatives. Examples of events include: * High School Outreach Programs (i.e. Future Teacher Expo, PTeach Visits) * Program Information Sessions and Webinars * Recruitment Fairs & Conferences Please contact [[marlinda.hines@ucdenver.edu|Marlinda Hines]] to partner on any of these events or if you have ideas for other recruitment or outreach activities. ===== Marketing and Communications ===== SEHD’s marketing office is responsible for collaborating with SEHD faculty, staff, students and alumni as well as University Communications, CU Online and the CU Foundation to advance SEHD’s image and standing among wide-ranging target audiences. Julia Cummings is the marketing director. Please reach out to her if you have a marketing need or question at [[julia.cummings@ucdenver.edu|Julia.Cummings@ucdenver.edu]] / 303-315-6339. The marketing office creates and help supports: * Marketing plans and strategy * Advertising * Branding * Electronic communications * Event websites and RSVPs * Graphic design * Photography * Press releases and PR (media inquiries and pitches) * Print materials (information sheets, flyers, SEHD publications) * Purchasing of promotional items * Social media * Sponsorships * Story ideas and writing of stories for Edge magazine, CU Denver News, CU Connections * Videos * Website content (Please email [[SEHDHelp@ucdenver.edu|SEHDHelp@ucdenver.edu]] with your web needs/suggestions. SEHD’s tech team will involve marketing as needed for the drafting of web copy, approvals, coordination with academic services, copyedits, etc.) ====== Partnerships ====== The SEHD Office of Partnerships is directly responsible for facilitating and coordinating partnerships with districts, schools and the broader community to support all clinical experiences for undergraduate and graduate teacher candidates across multiple teacher education pathways. The SEHD has one of the longest standing partnership preparation models of teacher education dating back to 1993 through an established network of **Professional Development Schools (PDSs)** where current teacher candidates experience early clinical block field experiences and year-long, intensive, clinically-rich residency internships supported by teams of university and P-12 faculty. Each PDS hosts a cohort of 6-12 teacher candidates each year; a university-based site professor and school-based site coordinator work closely together each week to support the candidates as well as support professional development of the practicing clinical teachers who mentor teacher candidates as well as align partnership resources with school improvement priorities. Our network of schools spans four metro area districts including Aurora Public Schools, Denver Public Schools, Jeffco Public Schools, & Mapleton Public Schools and is jointly negotiated by the Partnership Director and district leaders based on common needs and a shared cost model. In addition, the Office of Partnerships manages and facilitates unique **Undergraduate Residencies **with Denver Public Schools (DPS) called NxtGEN and a unique rural residency called T-PREP with community colleges and local school districts in southern Colorado. The Office of Partnerships also facilitates a **Community-based Partnership Network** with over 50 non-profit and community-based organizations. These partnerships support both the community-based clinical block for teacher candidates as well as the capstone internships for the undergraduate Human Development & Family Relations program and EDHD MA program. The Office of Partnerships facilitates several structures to support meaningful collaboration among university faculty and P-12 partners to facilitate simultaneous renewal of teacher education and P-12 schooling as well as provide opportunities for faculty to build relationships for professional development, research, and innovation with our P-12 partners. These include Teacher Education Collaborative Councils with our PDS networks, undergraduate residencies and community-based partners. In addition, the Office of Partnerships manages the placement matching and tracking processes, background finger-print processes, and Praxis tracking processes for all initial licensure students. Lastly, the Office of Partnerships provides extensive logistical and management support for all teacher education administrative processes including managing master calendars, facilitating communication with teacher education faculty and school/community partners, facilitating admissions processes with faculty and school partners, scheduling courses, and coordinating events for our undergraduate learning communities. Office of Partnerships professional staff serve on the Teacher Education Leadership Team (TELT). Office of Partnership Staff include: * Cindy Gutierrez, Director * Rachel Cornelius, Office of Partnerships Coordinator & Teacher Education Manager * Jody Barker, Coordinator of Clinical Teacher Education * Antwan Jefferson, Faculty Liaison for Community-based Partnership Network ====== SEHD Initiatives for Education, Research, and Evaluation ====== ===== Assessment and Program Improvement ===== The SEHD Office of Assessment and Program Improvement is responsible for activities related to supporting high-quality assessment practice among faculty, building a culture of continuous improvement across SEHD, managing and reporting program performance data, and accreditation and reauthorization of the SEHD programs. The Assessment Office promotes and nurtures a culture of formative evaluation and quality improvement within the SEHD and provides support for supports institutional, state, and national accreditation/authorization reviews. The office also develops and oversees the infrastructure to encourage faculty participation in research associated with School outcomes, namely the impact of our graduates on P-12 student learning, our graduates’ knowledge of content and content pedagogy, our graduates’ performance as educators, the persistence of our graduates in the education profession, and the leadership roles assumed by our graduates. Related to state and national accreditation activities, it is also responsibility of the Assessment Office to communicate and coordinate SEHD activities for the annual University Higher Learning Commission (HLC) report. The Assessment Office also coordinates assessment, data collection, program improvement and accreditation activities between the SEHD and other University offices; and between the SEHD and Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and Colorado Department of Higher Education (DHE). This includes managing SEHD accounts for the Qualtrics survey tool which is available to faculty, staff and students conducting approved research projects. The Assessment Office fulfills all external data reporting requirements for federal, national, and state agencies. Internally, the office maintains the official assessment records for current and former students, academic program assessments and management of databases that track relevant assessment data across all programs. **Assessment and Program Improvement Contacts** | \\ **Julie Oxenford-O’Brian,** //Executive Director of Assessment and Program Improvement// | \\ **303-315-6352, **LSC 723| | \\ **Tony Romero, **//Senior Data Analyst and// //Assessment System Manager// | \\ **303-315-6346, **LSC 726| ===== Continuing and professional Education ===== **//Shannon Hagerman, Executive Director// ** The office of Continuing and Professional Education (CPE) supports the mission and vision of the School of Education and Human Development by managing the School’s cash-funded courses and programs. CPE annually offers over 400 off-campus courses, either free-standing or as part of a certificate, endorsement, or master’s degree. CPE also offers and online alternative teacher licensure program, ASPIRE to Teach. CPE supports professional learning needs of individual school teachers, administrators, and mental health professionals by offering credit- and non-credit based courses, modules, book studies and events to individuals, schools, and districts through CPE and EDU, CPE’s online professional learning division. Depending on the program, our credit transfers toward district and Colorado Department of Education (CDE) requirements for re-licensure, salary increase, and/or career advancement, as well as CDE endorsements and university degree programs. ===== The Evaluation Center ===== **//Bonnie Walters, Executive Director// ** The Evaluation Center offers a full range of evaluation services to clients internal and external to the SEHD, including designing and conducting evaluations, integrating qualitative and quantitative analyses, and disseminating findings in a useful and meaningful way. Staff work to develop comprehensive plans which meet the unique needs of clients with a focus on helping individuals and organizations learn about and improve their programs, as well as providing a rigorous and objective analysis of respective program progress and effectiveness. The Evaluation Center is unique among program evaluation groups because it operates as an autonomous not-for-profit entity embedded within the SEHD at the University of Colorado Denver. ===== PARA Center ===== **//Ritu Chopra, Executive Director & Assistant Research Professor// ** PAR²A promotes optimum learning for all students through research and training on the roles, responsibilities, career development, preparation, supervision and employment of paraprofessionals and is designed for paraprofessionals, school professionals and administrators in public education. ===== Center for Practice Engaged Education Research (C-PEER) ===== **//Kent Seidel, Founding Co-Director & Associate Professor; Julie Oxenford O’Brian, Co-Director & Assistant Research Professor// ** The Center for Practice Engaged Education Research (C-PEER) is a network focused on re-imagining the relationship between researchers, educators, and community members to support schools and communities in improving their work on behalf of learners. We identify and investigate promising education practices to address challenging problems in education and to learn from promising research findings. Our education research network matches educators and researchers with shared interests and complementary abilities to encourage collaboration on locally relevant research. We share results across the network in order to understand what works in education and to improve supports and outcomes for learners. ===== Faculty Research Support Center ===== The School of Education & Human Development Faculty Research Support Center was designed to respond to the research and funding needs of faculty. It brings coherence, support and continuity to research efforts by creating a space and a place for research development and services. The Faculty Research Support Center’s mission is to assist in establishing a strong research record for each SEHD faculty member in a disciplined, sustained and focused approach to inquiry that has the potential to impact knowledge in the field and practice in the educational community. The center accomplishes this by (1) providing a space in which research activities are highlighted, supported and nurtured and (2) being responsive to faculty research interests. ====== Administration of the SEHD ====== ===== Leadership Team ===== The Leadership Team consists of the Dean, Associate Deans, Assistant Deans and the Executive Director of Continuing & Professional Education (with other participants on an invited basis). This team meets year-round. The purposes of the team are: to coordinate the programmatic activities of the School; to coordinate and facilitate strategic growth; to update the Dean on internal matters; to problem solve issues that arise across the School. ===== Administrative and Management Team ===== The Administrative and Management (A&M) Team consists of the Dean, the Associate Deans, and the following staff positions: Assistant Dean for Finance, Assistant Dean of Diversity, and Inclusion, Assistant Dean for Information and Academic Technology, Administrative Assistant to the Dean, Administrative Assistant to the Associate Deans, Human Resources and Budget Director, Marketing Director, Director of Academic Services, Director of Recruitment and Outreach, Executive Director of Accreditation and Program Effectiveness, Executive Director of Continuing and Professional Education and Business Manager for Continuing and Professional Education. The main focus of the A & M Team is operational efficiency and cross-functional communication. The scope of issues this group works with is wide, including: keeping track of and producing, when needed, many kinds of information, ranging from the availability of classrooms for a given course to budget allocations for the entire School; interacting with those outside the School and guiding them to the appropriate member of the School; problem‐solving in order to help achieve School goals; and ensuring that decision‐makers (e.g. Dean, members of committees, individual faculty members) have information required for decisions. The Dean monitors the effective functioning of these positions and reconfigures staff assignments as needed. This team meets bi-weekly on a year-round schedule. ===== Leadership and Finance Team ===== The committee will be convened by the Dean and elected by the faculty (see by-laws for composition) to promote implementation of the SEHD’s mission and strategic plan through broad-based strategic leadership. The team meets bi-weekly; faculty can submit agenda items for the Leadership and Finance Team to discuss and can find minutes of all meetings on the SEHD Impact page. ===== Program Leaders Team ===== Each program nominates a faculty member to serve as program representative. The Program Leaders Team meets bi-monthly to coordinate across program areas, to develop strategic goals across the School, and to raise issues of concern to their faculty colleagues. In addition, the Program Leaders serve as main contacts for the Academic Services staff, as conveners of their program faculty and as distributors of the administrative work of the area. ===== Staff Advisory Council ===== The Staff Advisory Council (SAC) provides a means for the exchange and dissemination of information among staff, and to promote unity and cooperation among all employees of the SEHD. SAC members are elected by SEHD staff, and membership of the council shall strive to include a representative selection of SEHD staff at all geographic locations (ideally one staff member from each floor and the Denver Place location and two at-large members). The SAC Vice Chairs also serve as rotating members of the Leadership Team with additional SAC board members attending other leadership and management team meetings on a rotating basis as requested by the dean. Additional information can be found at [[http://sehd.ucdenver.edu/staffadvisorycouncil/|http://sehd.ucdenver.edu/staffadvisorycouncil/]] ===== Faculty and Staff Committees ===== **//See SEHD Bylaws and Faculty Handbook// ** ====== Operations ====== ===== Calendar-Related Activities ===== ==== University Calendar-Related Terms ==== - **Academic year (AY)** comprises the fall and spring terms. Each term typically runs for 16 weeks. - **Maymester,** a three-week campus-wide summer session usually begins mid-May and ends three weeks later. This is considered as part of summer session and complies with summer rules. - **Summer term** is the 8-week term that begins after Maymester and ends in early August. There are a variety of patterns for SEHD course offerings during the summer. - **Fiscal year (FY)**, used for budgeting purposes, the fiscal year begins July 1 and ends the following June 30. For example, FY 14 would start on July 1, 2013 and end on June 30, 2014. - **Annual Performance Review Year** for faculty follows the calendar year, January 1 – December 31. For staff, the annual performance review year is April 1 – March 31. ===== SEHD Meeting Calendar ===== Annually, the SEHD puts forth a schedule for SEHD-related meetings which occur throughout each month on designated Mondays and Wednesdays. This calendar is sent electronically to all faculty and staff at least one month prior to the beginning of an academic year and is also listed under the Calendar tab in the SEHD Impact. The calendar illustrates meeting times/ patterns/ locations for the following SEHD group meetings: Faculty, EdD Program, PhD Program, Teacher Education Leadership Team (TELT), Program Leaders, Administrative and Management Team, Leadership and Finance Team, SEHD Committee meetings and SEHD Program Meetings. The current meeting calendar is available on the SEHD Impact. ====== Course Schedule Submission Deadlines ====== Main campus course scheduling is managed by the Course Coordinator in Academic Services, and off-campus (extended studies) course scheduling is managed by CPE staff. Course scheduling is developed in conjunction with the program and the Associate Deans. The process begins 9-12 months before the term begins. **__For main campus courses:__** The Course Coordinator works with the registrar’s office 9-12 months before the semester begins, to initiate the term roll. The term roll copies over courses offered the previous semester. For example, course offered during the fall 2019 semester will roll into fall 2020 in CU SIS. An Excel spreadsheet with the tentative schedule will be emailed to program leaders to review. Program leaders will consult with faculty to determine courses being offered, meeting patterns, instructor assignment, course format, and other required information. The following is a general timeline for the main campus course scheduling process: __Approximate Timelines:__ * **9-12 months before classes start:** Courses are rolled in CU SIS, program representatives review the schedule with faculty. * **9 months before classes start:** Finalized schedule due to Course Coordinator * **3 months before classes start: **Classrooms are published in CU SIS, Course Coordinator will send out the finalized schedule to program representatives, academic advisors and Associate Deans to review for accuracy before student registration begins. * **2 months before classes start: **Registration is open to students. All instructors must be identified and going through the hiring process with HR (if needed). * **6 weeks before classes start:** Low enrollment watch begins. Access to CU SIS production is cut off to Course Coordinator. * 4** weeks before classes start: **Low enrollment watch #2 – program representative and Associate Deans determine if any low-enrolled courses will be allowed to run. * **2 weeks before classes start:** Cancellation decisions are made for low enrolled sections, by program representative in consultation with Associate Deans. * **1 week after classes start: **Waitlists are purged; online registration closed; student registration by schedule adjustment form only __Approximate Schedule Due Dates:__ * Spring – due in May at the end of the spring semester * Summer – due in September at the start of the fall semester * Fall – due in November before fall break ===== Enrollment and Scheduling Policies ===== **Face-to-Face and Hybrid Classes: ** - Set caps at 35, start a waitlist - At 40, consider split into two sections of 20—sections must be same time and format - 32 enrolled triggers TA - No blanket minimum enrollment but courses with enrollments of 8-14 require approval to run - Lecturer Pay: Minimum of 15 students = $4,900; <15 = Pro-rate = # of students/15 x $4,900; Minimum pay is $2,800 **Online Classes: ** - Set caps at 30, start a waitlist - At 35, consider split into two sections.  New section must be on-line. - 25 enrolled becomes eligible for TA - No blanket minimum enrollment but courses with enrollments of 8-14 require approval to run - Lecturer Pay: Minimum of 15 students = $4,900; <15 = Pro-rate = # of students/15 x $4,900; Minimum pay is $2,800 **Doctoral-Level Classes:** - Set caps at 30, start a waitlist - At 35, consider split into two sections—sections must be same time and format - 25 enrolled becomes eligible for TA - No blanket minimum enrollment but courses with enrollments of 8-14 require approval to run - Lecturer Pay: Minimum of 15 students = $4,900; <15 = Pro-rate = # of students/15 x $4,900; Minimum pay is $2,800 **Type O (Practicum & Internship Courses):** - Under 30 SCH, course will be pro-rated based off 30 SCH. __For CPE (D2) Courses:__ CPE staff members initiate the course scheduling process in consultation with program faculty each term. Each program is unique, but in general, CPE certificate programs are planned out a year at a time, with the specific course schedules (dates, meeting patterns, course locations) to be determined after instructors have been identified, at least two months before the course is scheduled to begin. CPE course schedules frequently do not align with campus term schedules. ==== Room Requests ==== Room requests for courses must be given to the Course Coordinator at the time the schedule is submitted **6 months prior** to the start of the semester.  The Course Coordinator will do their best to accommodate requests. All non-course room requests (for meetings, workgroups, etc.) should be requested through the EMS Web App [[https://schedule.ucdenver.edu/emswebapp/Default.aspx|https://schedule.ucdenver.edu/emswebapp/Default.aspx]]. ==== Changes to Schedule After Registration Has Begun ==== Once students have registered for classes, changes to the schedule can negatively impact a student’s schedule and cause frustration. Any change to the schedule once students are enrolled requires the course to be cancelled, and rebuilt with the new time, day, dates or format. Students are automatically dropped when a course is cancelled and students will need re-register in the new section. Therefore, changes to the schedule can only be made if approved by the Associate Dean overseeing the program area. ==== Wait Lists ==== Many courses fill up quickly, students are encouraged to sign up for waitlists during registration when they find a course is full. Faculty are encouraged to allow waitlisted students to attend class until waitlists are dropped at midnight on the Monday of the second week of classes. This practice allows students who get enrolled from the waitlist to be in sync with the class. Consult the Academic Calendar for published deadlines each term. Note: CPE does not set up wait lists for most CPE courses, instead maintaining contact with CPE student groups and making adjustments to course caps as appropriate. ===== Types of Courses ===== ==== Definitions Pertaining to Courses ==== **Type A: **Most courses offered by the School of Education & Human Development fall into CDHE's "Type A, Lecture" category. "Type A, Lecture" courses must provide 750 minutes of instructional time per credit hour, per semester. Thus, a 3-credit-hour course is 2250 minutes of instructional time during the semester it is taught. Typically, this equates to 15 weeks of instruction with one time per week meeting patterns of three hours in length. **Type B:** Other courses such as practica, internships, independent studies, and doctoral dissertations, fall into the "Type B" category. Each of these requires a minimum amount of student effort/time. For internal purposes these are designated as type “O”. ===== Course Location and Delivery ===== - D1 courses are located on Auraria campus at least part of the time, or they are fully online courses. D2 courses can also be located off-campus. - **Continuing and professional education** (CPE) courses are offered off-campus or online. - **Online courses **can be main campus or CPE. When applicable, program fees are charged in addition to tuition. In addition, there is an online course fee of $100. - **Hybrid courses** are courses which have at least one class online and face-to-face sessions and can be main campus or CPE. Where applicable, program fees are charged in addition to tuition. In addition, there is a hybrid course fee of $50. **NOTE: **Students have the right to experience the format for which they registered. Faculty cannot change formats after the course is advertised and scheduled. ===== Teaching Assistants/Secondary Instructors ===== * Faculty teaching on-campus will qualify for a teaching assistant (TA) if they have a class enrollment of over 32. Faculty will qualify for a TA for an online class (not hybrid) or doctoral class if it reaches 25 or more students. Teaching assistants will be hired according to the number of credit hours in the course and will be paid $1,850 (beginning in January 2024) to support a three credit hour course. A three hour course requires the TA to work 100 hours, while effort for courses with different loads is prorated accordingly. * Teaching assistant (TA)/secondary instructor will be hired using the following guidelines: Teaching assistantships are offered first to graduate students. If there are no graduate students available to assist with a course, a secondary instructor may be hired into a lecturer position but at the TA pay rate. This appointment must otherwise be consistent with lecturer policy. * To hire a TA, submit online request form through the [[https://forms.ucdenver.edu/secure/sehd_hr_new_hire|SEHD Impact]] site. The instructor will submit a brief written plan of the duties the TA will perform, including the number of hours required for those duties. Less than 3 credit hour-classes, pay and work hours are prorated. If this is the first online class in which the instructor has used a TA, the instructor is encouraged to obtain the advice of online experts from the Faculty Development Center in order to figure out how to best use a TA in an online class. ===== Regular Faculty: Academic Year Workload ===== ==== Type A Instruction ==== **//(See [[https://wiki.cu.studio/handbooks/pattern_of_administration#types_of_courses9|#types_of_courses9]] in the section above for a definition of Type A)// ** - If a course is team-taught by two faculty members, 3 credit hours are needed for each faculty member (or a total of 6 CHs) in order to justify the one course load for each faculty member. - A regular faculty member may be reassigned to research grant activities at 10% of his/her Academic Year Full-Time Equivalent (AY FTE) for one course reduction, and in increments of 15% for each additional course reduction. For all cases, effort must be included on the project or projects that is equal to or exceeds the required course reductions percentage. Actual changes in teaching, service and research responsibilities are negotiated individually between the faculty member and the designated Associate Dean. Plans for course reduction should be included in the original or revised professional plan. - A regular faculty member may occasionally teach a CPE course during the academic year as part of teaching load if the CPE revenues and allocations cover 10% of the faculty member’s salary and proportional benefits, or if negotiated with the Dean. These allocations must be transferred from the Continuing and Professional Education account to the SEHD general budget account. - It is expected that regular faculty members will work with their program colleagues to develop teaching schedules that meet the needs of the students and the faculty members. The primary factors in scheduling will be program coherence and service to students, including day and time of offering. In addition, attention should be paid to the equitable rotation among faculty who wish to teach the same course. Attention should also be paid to the need for untenured faculty to build a research dossier (e.g. not assigning a new prep each year). The Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs is available to help resolve these issues when they arise. - When the SEHD budget allows, it may be possible to award course releases for administrative duties, special research or service projects, and other contributions to the School. These reductions are intended as investments in the professional development of the faculty and the reputation of the SEHD. Reductions for administrative duties will be given at the discretion of the Dean. - Tenure track faculty take precedence for teaching courses to meet their workload. If a course cancellation creates a workload shortage for a tenure track faculty member, the faculty member will assume responsibilities for a course assigned to a lecturer, instructor or clinical professors. In this case, a new assignment would be made for the instructor/clinical faculty. If that is not possible, the faculty member will teach an additional course in the following semester. If that semester is during the summer, the faculty member will teach the course without additional pay. - Faculty are responsible for finding a substitute instructor if there is a last minute change to their load. ==== Type B Instruction ==== Practicum and internship courses (Type B instruction) can count as a 3-credit-hour course if the course generates at least 30 student credit hours in a single semester. The typical internship has 10 students who have each registered for 3 credits. However, other possibilities might include 5 students each registered for 6 credits; 15 students each registered for 2 credits, and so on. It is preferred that these 30 credits constitute a single class registration in one semester. ==== Overloads ==== Under certain circumstances, faculty may have the opportunity to teach an additional course during the academic year for overload pay at the lecturer rate; this rate is the same whether the course originates from main campus or CPE instruction (pay may be prorated if enrollment is insufficient to support the full lecturer rate). For the current Lecturer rate, see this section: [[https://wiki.cu.studio/handbooks/pattern_of_administration#enrollment_and_scheduling_policies|https://wiki.cu.studio/handbooks/pattern_of_administration#enrollment_and_scheduling_policies]] In main campus and CPE, usually no more than one overload course will be approved for a faculty member during any one FY and the overload pay is at the lecturer rate for additional academic year remuneration. Overloads must be part of a faculty member’s professional plan and be approved through the additional remuneration process as well. Overloads are strongly discouraged for tenure-track faculty members who have not yet earned tenure; occasional exceptions may be made with the Dean’s approval. ===== Regular Faculty Summer and Maymester Teaching and Pay ===== ==== Type A Instruction ==== - Class size requirements are consistent across terms. The basis of summer pay* is the number of credit hours of the course at the Dean’s discretion. A faculty member will receive $6000 for a three credit hour course that meets minimum enrollment (this applies to both main campus and CPE courses). If a course is two credit hours, the pay will be $4000. Teaching more than two courses requires Dean's approval and will be paid at the Lecturer rate. Your summer pay spread will be stated on your summer contract. Please note: Payment may vary for CPE courses. Per university policy, faculty are allowed to receive only 1/9th of their AY salary each month in the summer. See the following faculty pay policy: - Required Class Size: The minimum class size requirement for courses is generally 15 students. The Dean’s Team will monitor each semester’s enrollments, starting six weeks prior to the semester start date. Two weeks before classes start, you will be notified if your course is on low-enrollment watch. Cancellation decisions are made by the Dean’s Office no less than one week before classes start. You may be offered the opportunity to teach at a pro-rated amount, rather than cancelling the course. Once you accept a pro-rated pay amount, it may be increased based on census date enrollment numbers, but will not be decreased, even if enrollment drops below the enrollment number used to calculate the pro-rate. - If tenure track faculty teaches a CPE course in the summer, s/he may be paid up to the amount as stated in the appropriate main campus summer pay policy. As with all CPE courses, minimum student numbers apply and in some cases, the amount paid out will vary by total number of students registered for the class. - Faculty supported by grants may earn up to 3/9ths (or 33.33%) of their annual salary on grant funds in the summer months with all pay coming from the grant or with a combination of teaching and grant work that falls within the summer teaching policies. - Teaching in the summer is accompanied by responsibility to the program and School for service. The minimum amount of time that the faculty member is expected to be available for service is 6 weeks of the 8-week summer term. ==== Type B Summer Instructional Activity ==== - To count as a 3 credit course for pay, practica and internships need to generate 30 SCHs during the summer term and meet best practice criteria. - Assuming that 30 SCHs are generated, to earn the designated summer course salary the faculty member must meet the service commitments outlined in their professional plan. ===== Non-Tenure Track Faculty: Academic Year (AY) Teaching Loads ===== **SEHD-funded Non-Tenure Track Faculty (Instructor, Sr. Instructor, Clinical Teaching Track)** - The teaching load for SEHD-funded Non-Tenure Track faculty members is 8 courses or 23-25 credit hours of instructional activity, depending on assigned workload. Non-Tenure Track faculty have the option of proposing course equivalent activity for one to two courses for Dean’s approval. - The ways in which Type B instructional activities (see page 32) can count as a course for tenure track faculty members also apply to Non-Tenure Track faculty members. - Non-Tenure Track faculty may be partially supported on grant projects. Course reduction will be provided when grant funds at minimum 12.5% of the faculty member’s AY salary per course release. Grant-funded term faculty appointments include expectations specific to the grant(s) that provide the funds. The principal investigator for the grant and the designated Associate Dean will determine the teaching load for a Non-Tenure Track faculty member who is entirely or partly supported by grant funds. - Non-Tenure Track faculty may be assigned administrative responsibilities as a percentage of their assigned workload. The Dean must approve such assignments. ===== Teaching Pay ===== For 12-month Faculty, Exempt Professional Staff, Professional Research Assistants (PRAs), and Post-Doctoral Fellows teaching for Additional Pay (Overload) Under certain circumstances, the opportunity may arise to teach an additional course outside of normal work hours for overload pay. If teaching will be in addition to full-time FTE duties, then the pay will be at the lecturer rate, as is the case for all faculty. Usually no more than one overload course will be approved during any one AY and total overload pay is limited to 10% of the individual’s annual salary each FY. Overloads must be part of a faculty member’s professional plan and be approved through the additional remuneration process as well. ==== Teaching Buy-Out ==== The opportunity may arise for a full time 12-month faculty or staff member to teach a course during the academic year as part of their regular load. These rates are based on the assumption that teaching will be a part of the full-time FTE duties and not in addition to them. The rates listed below reflect a 9-month equivalent salary, not a 12-month salary: - The buy-out amount for an employee with a Master’s degree will be the current lecturer rate, and they will have no expectations for service. - The buy-out amount for an employee who is a doctoral student will be 10% of their 9 month-equivalent academic salary with an expectation for service to the SEHD during the academic year. - The buy-out amount for an employee with a doctoral degree will be 10% of their 9 month-equivalent academic salary (unless the grant stipulates otherwise) with an expectation for service to the SEHD during the academic year. ===== Retired Faculty ===== Teaching rate for retired faculty with Emeritus status is $6000 per course. ===== Non-Tenure Track Faculty: Summer Teaching Loads and Pay ===== ==== Non-Tenure Track Faculty with Academic Year Appointments ==== A Non-Tenure Track Faculty member (SEHD-funded or grant-funded) **with a 9-month appointment **who wishes to teach during the summer term will be paid under the same conditions as regular faculty members (as described on page 35-36). Thus, full summer pay is an option only for faculty members who are regular participants in program and, at a minimum, School/service activities. ==== Non-Tenure Track Faculty with Fiscal Year (FY) Appointments ==== If a Non-Tenure Track Faculty member (SEHD-funded or grant-funded) has a Fiscal Year (12-month) appointment, and wishes to teach an overload course during the summer, he/she will be paid the lecturer rate. ===== Lecturer Pay for Academic Year and Summer Courses ===== Payment is made only for individuals who are listed in the School of Education's database with load credit for a course. Occasionally, a SEHD lecturer is a regular faculty member in another department, school, or college in the CU system. The usual practice is to pay these instructors at the same rate as other SEHD lecturers. The non-SEHD faculty member will need to receive approval through the additional remuneration form from his/her home department. Please note that AMC has different policies that prevent our ability to pay regular faculty additional pay when teaching courses on another campus. For on-campus courses, lecturers will be paid at the current lecturer rate which is set by the Dean during the annual merit process. Under enrolled courses may be canceled, and pay is prorated for under enrolled courses that have not been canceled. See the prorated pay details in the section below, “Course Schedule Submission Deadlines.” ===== Practica/Internship for all Faculty ===== Information on load policies for university supervisors/coaches is contained in the Practicum and Internship Policies. The following highlights some of what is contained in that document. * It is expected that regular faculty will serve as the university supervisor/coach if at all possible. All university coaches/supervisors are paid on a per credit hour basis. * Credits assigned to practica/internships should be appropriate for the workload required for the student and faculty member. * To count as a 3-credit course load, each practicum/internship generates a minimum of 30 credits and meets best practice criteria. The typical internship has 10 students who have each registered for 3 credits. * Regular faculty (or counseling staff) may only serve as practicum/internship supervisors/coaches, not as assistant supervisors/coaches. That is, they will be responsible for supervising/coaching a minimum of 30 credits in order to be credited for teaching a 3-credit course as well as teaching the seminar affiliated with the course. In professional development schools, the load needs to be a minimum of 90 credits in order to earn credit for three 3-credit courses. Regular faculty will take a full load of students prior to a lecturer. (See exception in next item below.) For example, if 16 students register for internship and the load that constitutes that practicum or internship is 10, the regular faculty must take 10 students rather than share the 16 students equally with a part time instructor. If a student in the regular faculty member’s load drops after the semester begins, s/he will take one of the part time faculty’s students to add to his/her load and the part time faculty member’s load and payment will be adjusted accordingly. * University supervisors/coaches who are coordinating the same-semester work of two or more other supervisor/coaches or assistant supervisors/coaches may request a reduced supervision/coaching load (1-2 student reduction), depending on the coordination requirements with advanced approval from the designated Associate Dean in order to coordinate the practicum/internship work of assistant supervisors/coaches and to assist assistant supervisors/coaches with difficult situations. * All those serving as University assistant supervisors/coaches must be listed on SIS in order to be paid. The Scheduling and Curriculum Manager assists with this process. * When a group of registered students are producing less than 30 credits, lecturers may be paid on a percentage (of 30 credits) of lecturer pay to serve as assistant supervisors/coaches. For example, if the lecturer is assigned to work with 5 students, each of whom is registered for 3 credits, the assistant supervisor/coach will be paid 50% of the current lecturer pay rate for a 3 credit course. * University assistant supervisors/coaches are paid for practicum and internship as determined by the School of Education; faculty may not decide on a different payment. If there is a problem with the standard payment, it should be brought to the attention of the Deans for resolution. This will ensure that pay issues are resolved in ways that remain equitable across all programs and part time faculty. ===== CPE - Partnership Coordination Compensation Guidelines Background ===== When SEHD faculty partner with school districts or agencies on major CPE professional development initiatives to provide certificate, endorsement or degree programs in a district, they may qualify for a partnership coordination stipend if 1) the initiative has the financial capacity to produce funds to cover a stipend, and 2) the faculty member’s service is significantly beyond normal expectations. Compensation is considered only for extraordinary work involving a comprehensive certificate, endorsement or degree program that involves an on-going continuing partnership. Because coordination needs are typically greater at the beginning of a partnership, stipends may vary as the work requirements change in ongoing partnerships. ==== Financial Capacity ==== D2 must be run as an enterprise fund; that is, it must be self-supporting. Therefore, an essential consideration regarding partnership coordinator compensation is whether it has been included in the budgeting process. ==== Partnership Coordination Responsibilities ==== Faculty who coordinate partnerships carry out a number of different activities. Following is a list of typical duties: * //Secure the partnership//. In many cases it is the initiative of the faculty member that secures the partnership with the district or organization. A coordination stipend can partly serve to recognize the outreach and coordination efforts it takes to secure a partnership with a district or agency. * //Assist with the development and implementation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). //It is becoming increasingly common to develop an MOU with the partnering district or agency. Although CPE manages the MOU development, the faculty project coordinator generally participates in the annual review of these agreements. * Coordination of other SEHD faculty who are involved in oversight, coaching and/or consulting with the partner district or agency. * Recruitment, oversight, and support of on-site district instructors who are teaching courses for SEHD * Alignment and modification of on-site courses that are being offered as part of a certificate or endorsement partnership * //Curriculum development. C//ourses that are being offered as part of a certificate or endorsement partnership may require modification, including in the delivery system, and/or alignment to meet the needs of the partner and/or to permit students to complete a course of study on campus. ==== Compensation ==== Compensation would ordinarily only be for extraordinary work involving a comprehensive certificate, endorsement or degree program that involves an on-going continuing partnership. Also, coordination needs may be greater at the beginning of a partnership than in subsequent years. In order to have some rational basis for compensation, it seems that it must be related to time spent. Faculty is generally expected to be on campus from mid-August until the end of May. Calculating that as a work year of 185 days would equate to about a half-percent of salary for every full day spent coordinating a partnership above and beyond full year workload expectations. Utilizing this formula, ten additional days of work (two full weeks) would equate to an additional 5% of compensation. Following are some examples of compensation level**s** based on the time spent to carry out one or more of the coordination roles listed above, remembering that all coordination must be paid out of available CPE //program// funds and that the Dean must approve any extra compensation. * **Example One** – One or more of the above duties, but not enough extra time that the coordination is significantly impacting more than 100 percent of the yearly expectations for faculty workload. In this case the partnership coordination should be listed as part of the faculty member’s professional plan for service but additional compensation should not be involved. * **Example Two** – One or more of the above duties that will result in an impact to time and responsibility that will significantly exceed 100 percent of expected yearly workload. Compensated coordination would only be available for certificate, endorsement, degree or other programs that include a series of courses and semesters. Oftentimes this work will be carried out in the summer. Each additional full day of work planned for the partnership should result in a half-percent of additional compensation. For example, if the partnership will likely require six full days, or twelve half-days, the faculty member would earn an additional 3%, eight days 4%, etc. * **Example Three** – Where most of the above duties fall upon a faculty member and he or she is primarily responsible for a large program, one with a large number of participants**, **cohorts, courses or instructors, then significant impact would be anticipated. Program coordination might result in up to two additional weeks of work (or 80 hours) within each of the fall and spring semesters resulting in additional compensation of 5% for each semester and a full month of additional work in the summer that would result in another 10%. At this level, the faculty member could choose to buy out an in-load course to earn the 20% without working additional time or keep their regular course load and be compensated for the additional work. Although it is helpful to plan and articulate the work of faculty as coordinator of CPE programs in terms of number of days, in reality this coordination is not neat and clean. Problems arise that need immediate attention and result in focused minutes or hours of emailing and/or phone calling, all of which occur during the “regular” work day in order to solve or follow up on a problem. So while some of the work is definitely scheduled as half day or whole day on one’s work calendar, other responsibilities are attended to on top of an already full schedule during the academic year. It is best to utilize the number of days anticipated for coordination as a basis for planning. Faculty will not be expected to log hours or days spent on coordination. Additional compensation beyond 20% will not be provided. If the coordination requires more time than 20%, it should become part of an in-load assignment. Also, these guidelines are solely for coordination, faculty who teach beyond their expected course load would, of course, be compensated for their teaching as well. Request for compensation for partnership coordination, whether in-load support or through a stipend, must be made initially to the Executive Director of Continuing and Professional Education. The request must be in writing and include estimates of time and duties. If the faculty member and CPE director agree on an amount of additional remuneration, the faculty member must submit the additional remuneration request to the Assistant Dean for Finance to be ultimately approved by the Dean of SEHD. Pay agreed upon for the faculty member will be issued only after the revenues and expenditures for the program have been reconciled on a semester and/or annual basis and a sufficient program balance exists. Each year the Finance Committee will review all coordination compensation to insure that these guidelines are working as planned. ====== Assessments and Surveys: Data Collection and Reporting ====== ==== ASSESSMENT ==== All SEHD programs have identified key assessments (sometimes called performance-based assessments, PBAs) and scoring rubrics that provide evidence of valued student learning objectives as part of course offerings and clinical experiences. Program faculty members are responsible for using their programs’ key assessments and ensuring that adjunct faculty members do as well. Key program assessments are managed through the SEHD Assessment management system, LiveText by Waternark. Faculty can link the assessment tasks and scoring rubrics for their key assessments to their Canvas course shells so that student results are automatically entered into the SEHD Assessment management system. Program faculty are expected to regularly review the key program-level assessments and rubrics to ensure they are current and appropriate. The Office of Assessment and Program Improvement provides training, support videos and job aides to assist faculty with the development, scoring and administration of key program assessments as needed and upon request. The Assessment Office also administers LiveText by Watermark accounts for faculty and students. Assessment Office staff members participate in the campus Assessment Committee; staff serve as the SEHD liaison to the University Assessment Office, providing a communication mechanism for faculty and staff to this group. ==== DATA COLLECTION ==== The Assessment Office administers surveys to all students as they graduate/complete including items common across all programs (related to their experiences at SEHD and a social justice scale) and items specific to their experiences within their program. The Office administers additional surveys to students one, two and three years after the graduate/complete and to employers of SEHD students. In addition, the office surveys initial licensure students when they begin their program. The Assessment Office manages SEHD accounts for the Qualtrics on-line survey tool that is available to faculty, staff and students. Please email [[sehdhelp@ucdenver.edu|sehdhelp@ucdenver.edu]] if you require access. Assessment office staff members also participate in the University Survey Working Group serving as a liaison for faculty and staff to this group. ==== PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT, DATA DASHBOARDS/INTERNAL REPORTING ==== The SEHD Assessment office works in coordination with the Institutional Research office to provide access to a wide variety of program-level data to program faculty and staff to support on-going improvement efforts. This includes program assessment results, Praxis results, application/admission/matriculation trend data, enrollment trend data, completion trend data, student-exit-survey results, alumni-satisfaction-survey results, and graduate placement and persistence data (as available). Faculty and staff can access data reports through the following resources: * Student application, enrollment and completion dashboards are available at [[https://tableau.ucdenver.edu/|https://tableau.ucdenver.edu/]] ; note to access you must be on-campus or using VPN, sign on using standard login and password; select the “university” site, and then the School of Education and Human Development dashboards. * Student program assessment results/reports are available through LiveText by Watermark (you must sign-in to your account). * Survey data collected by SEHD Assessment office are available through the SEHD section of [[https://tableau.ucdenver.edu|https://tableau.ucdenver.edu]]. Assessment Office staff members facilitate periodic analysis/interpretation of school-wide performance data as part of Program Leader and Faculty and Staff meetings. Program faculty or administrators who would like additional consultation or assistance related to program improvement/evaluation can contact the Office of Assessment and Program Improvement. ==== ACCREDITATION/REAUTHORIZATION and EXTERNAL REPORTING ==== To meet the statutory requirements for the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), the University requires each program area and the SEHD to submit reports for each degree major on student outcomes assessment and program improvement annually (in the fall). The Assessment Office supports program faculty in this process by facilitating access to reports on student performance on key program-level assessments during the previous 12-month period, and other program enrollment and completing reports through the above dashboards and reporting systems. The Assessment Office is also the liaison for SEHD to the university-wide HLC accreditation visit preparation and reporting, scheduled for Spring 2021. The Assessment office supports and coordinates the external reauthorization process for SEHD K-12 licensure and endorsement programs with the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and the Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE). The Assessment Office also supports program faculty in quality assessment practice, data collection and reporting as required by other national accrediting agencies (e.g., CACREP, COAMFTE, and APA). The office also fulfills all external data reporting requirements for federal, national, and state agencies and other national performance reports (e.g., U.S. News Annual Graduate Program Rankings). ==== SPECIAL DATA REQUESTS ==== Faculty or staff with additional data reporting needs should contact the Office of Assessment and Program Improvement. Be prepared to discuss the purpose, specific data elements, timeframe, and reporting format with Office staff so that the resulting data fit your needs. Whenever possible, allow sufficient lead time for staff to meet your data request, particularly with large requests. The Assessment Office works closely with campus Institutional Research and Registrar’s Office staff to coordinate the completion of data requests ====== Supplemental Compensation and Financial Conflict of Interest ====== [[https://www.cu.edu/regents/Policies/Policy5D.htm|https://www.cu.edu/regents/Policies/Policy5D.htm]] The University will not pay for such extra services [performed by full-time faculty members] except in cases where an unusual amount of time is required outside the faculty member's regular duties and then only [if] arrangements have been made in advance for the work and an understanding arrived at concerning the amount of pay to be received. Arrangements for additional remuneration for extra work must be approved in writing by the dean of the faculty member's school or college. In addition to their payment for normal faculty workloads, full time faculty members may receive additional remuneration for the following: - Overload teaching in either main campus or \CPE - University service, such as department chair or other significant workload increase, leadership, or supervisory \responsibility - \Awards - Summer school \teaching - Summer sponsored \research - Intersession \teaching - Institutional agreements In the case of additional remuneration for extra work by administrators (including deans), arrangements must be approved in accordance with [[https://www.cu.edu/regents/Policies/Policy2K_new.html|Policy 2-K]]. [For officers and exempt professionals, see [[https://www.cu.edu/regents/Policies/Policy11F_new.html|11.F.1]].] writing by the President as defined in Regent [[https://www.cu.edu/regents/Policies/Policy3J_new.html|Policy 3-J (A)]]. ===== Additional Remuneration for Consultative Services ===== [[https://www.cu.edu/regents/Policies/Policy5E.htm|https://www.cu.edu/regents/Policies/Policy5E.htm]] Faculty consultation work is a desirable and legitimate function, serving to keep faculty abreast of their professions and should be encouraged. Such work must not interfere with the educational processes of the University. (See Regent [[https://www.cu.edu/regents/Policies/Policy3B_new.html|Policy 3 B]] and [[https://www.cu.edu/regents/Policies/Policy3D_new.html|3 D]]) With prior written approval by the dean or appropriate campus authority, faculty members shall be permitted to receive additional remuneration from sources outside the university so long as the activities generating the income do not exceed one-sixth of their time and effort. Outside work during leaves of absence shall be of concern only to the individual and the entity by which he/she is employed. Normally, university facilities shall not be used for faculty members’ outside work. However, faculty members may make contractual arrangements to rent university facilities at fair-market rates using campus-approved procedures. Faculty members shall not use university resources to advertise their availability for private consultation practice. Separate policies may apply to faculty members in Chancellor-approved practice plans. One-Sixth Rule activities shall not involve large amounts of consecutive time, but shall be limited to reasonably short periods of consultation. ===== Conflicts of Interest ===== See Regents Policy 1C: [[https://www.cu.edu/regents/policy/1|https://www.cu.edu/regents/policy/1]] As a state institution, it is imperative for both legal and ethical reasons that university employees do not improperly benefit from their positions of trust at the university. University employees are expected to avoid actual and perceived conflicts of interest related to their work and position. Actual or potential conflicts must be appropriately disclosed in accordance with university conflict of interest and conflict of commitment policies, so that such conflicts may be reviewed, and as appropriate, managed or eliminated. Employees are responsible for identifying potential conflicts and seeking appropriate guidance. Conflicts of interest may also arise in the context of gifts, travel, and entertainment. University employees are expected to conduct themselves so as to ensure that their positions are not misused for private gain with respect to the acceptance of gifts and the undertaking of university-related travel or entertainment. University employees may not solicit, accept, or agree to accept any benefit that is intended to influence the employee in the performance of his or her university duties. ====== Grievances ====== [[http://www.ucdenver.edu/faculty_staff/faculty/faculty-affairs/policies-forms/Pages/default.aspx|http://www.ucdenver.edu/faculty_staff/faculty/faculty-affairs/policies-forms/Pages/default.aspx]] ===== Faculty Grievances ===== Faculty members have access to school processes and procedures.
