Part-Time Post-Probationary, Part-Time Probationary, or Full-Time Probationary Faculty TAP and Peer Coaching Suggested Timeline of Required Action Items

If you are a Part-Time Post-Probationary, Part-Time Probationary, or Full-Time Probationary faculty, you will complete one TAP each FQAS cycle . Because the TAP is updated throughout the process, it should only be submitted into SumTotal at the end of the cycle.

You can use the following as a checklist by making a copy of this Google Doc.

First Year of FQAS Cycle:
Middle Year(s) of FQAS Cycle:
Final Year of the FQAS Cycle:

▢ Make a copy of the TAP form.

▢ Choose your Peer Coach (PT post-probationary) or use your Faculty Development Coach (PT or FT Probationary). All faculty are required to participate in this Peer Coaching process.

▢ List your goals (required minimum of 1). Goals need to be S.M.A.R.T. and aligned to the MATC Standards of Teaching Excellence.

▢ Plan some initial actions that you will take.

▢ Review your goals and list the actions taken in your TAP.

▢ If these actions are also professional development activities, have you submitted these into SumTotal for FQAS hours?

▢ Do the goals need to be adjusted to match the needs of the classroom?

▢ Do you need to take additional professional development activities to meet your goals?

▢ Check in with your Peer Coach (PT post-probationary) or Faculty Development Coach (PT or FT Probationary)--do they have any ideas or best practices to share with you? Discuss your progress and adjustments.

▢ List additional actions taken towards your goals in your TAP.

▢ At your final meeting with your Peer Coach (PT post-probationary) or Faculty Development Coach (PT and FT Probationary), share your results and get written feedback and a signature from your Coach on your TAP form.

▢ Save the completed TAP and submit it in SumTotal under “TAP: Teaching Action Plan.” You are required to submit the form by June 30 at the end of your FQAS cycle year
