Suggestions for Faculty Members Writing Recommendation Letters

Mentoring non-tenured faculty members is an important part of the professional development of both parties. If you are asked to complete a letter of recommendation for one of your colleagues to be included in his or her self-evaluation packet, you may want to work with the faculty member in one or more of the following ways:

• Sit in on one or more of the faculty member鈥檚 classes. 
• Review some of the course materials the faculty member has developed. 
• Discuss with the faculty member his or her professional goals.

In your letter, you may want to address the following areas:

• What have been your interactions with this faculty member? 
• How well does the faculty member manage the classroom environment? 
• How effectively does the faculty member communicate with students? 
• What methods does this instructor use to improve student success? 
• What contributions has the faculty member made to your area and/or to the college? 
• What strengths does this faculty member exhibit? 
• What goals and/or innovations is this faculty member working on? 
• What areas of scholarship or study has this faculty member specialized in?
