ADVERTISEMENTS

I just spent some time (though I'm embarrassed to say just how much or little) writing up my "annual letter" to the dean at FSU, which we're all required to do, regardless of seniority. The letter (along with relevant supporting material, i.e., drafts/teaching evals, etc) is supposed to capture the past year's efforts at teaching, scholarship, and service to students/school/the profession.  Though writing the letter and assembling the materials can be a bit of a pain, I really do think it's a good practice and I'm glad to do it.  I wonder, though, if it's a unique practice. Does your school have it? Just for juniors? What other kind of accountability mechanisms are out there? Aside from tenure, I mean.
