Overview

This policy states The policies on this page state the minimum workload expectations for full-time professional track faculty in the College of Education (COE) and refers to workload during the long (fall and spring) semesters. Note that teaching in the summer session does not count as part of the teaching workload minima discussed on in the "Teaching-focused lines" tab section on this page. Workload expectations differ as a function of professional track faculty title and role.

Each COE Department department is allowed a Departmentdepartment-specific policy although these must be approved by the Dean and meet the core principles laid out in this College policy. The purpose of this policy is to ensure equity in workload across the College. This policy was adopted in fall semester, 2019.

Teaching-focused lines

This section describes workload policy for full-time professional track faculty in the following professional track lines: professors of instruction, professors of practice, clinical professors, and lecturersengaged inorganized course instruction termed “teaching-focused” lines, here.

...

There is an expectation that teaching-focused professional track faculty are also significantly involved in either service or research and considerations for promotion will include review of teaching and contributions in one of these additional areas. For successful promotion, expectations for performance in research should be comparable to those for tenure-track faculty in the department. Performance in service should involve leadership and participation across multiple levels including the Department and other levels (e.g., College, University and the larger field). In addition, promotion review can also consider community service related to the professional track faculty member’s teaching content.

Research-focused lines

As noted in UT’s General Guidelines for Promotion and Tenure of all Faculty Ranks, for professional track faculty in the research line, their contribution is “principally in the area of research” and “a well-documented record of research excellence is required. In addition, a record of active contribution to the academic enterprise in other ways is required and must be adequately documented.” Contributions to the academic enterprise can result from teaching, service and/or student advising activities with involvement levels that reflect the professional track faculty member’s percentage of time appointed.
