Faculty Evaluations BSN Pre-Licensure

A different CER is used to evaluate hybrid BSNPL classes. The Classroom/Clinical Engagement Rubric (CER): Hybrid Courses (Ground + D2L) is used for courses that have a hybrid component. “Hybrid” refers to a course that has both a ground component (seminar, lab, clinicals) and D2L requirements. All ground courses will have a D2L portion, but not all online courses will have a ground component. For courses that are strictly online (didactic) and without any ground requirements, a different tool is used (the standard CER). The only program which uses this hybrid tool is the BSNPL.

Purpose

Since students are learning in two modalities (face-to-face and digital), the instructor must be proficient in coordinating the different modalities as a single learning experience for the student. The purpose of this hybrid CER is to examine the effectiveness of the faculty in both modalities in an effort to have a more comprehensive and holistic evaluation of an instructor’s pedagogy in ground classes and the online portion of the learning environment.

Structure

The tool is divided into two sections: Ground (highlighted in blue) and D2L portion (highlighted in green). The Program Director of the BSNPL examines the faculty’s performance during a predetermined lesson in the ground classroom and scores the faculty’s performance (section 1). Section 1 has three categories:

Instructional Effectiveness
Active Engagement
Community Development

The Director of Academic Support will score the faculty’s performance in the online portion of the classroom in D2L (section 2) where students and faculty also have learning activities, including grading and providing regular feedback on classroom assignments. Section 2 also has three categories:

Responsiveness
Quality Feedback
Classroom Compliance

The combined score of the Ground portion of this tool and the D2L portion of this tool is used to determine the total score and, thus, the F-status of the instructor. F-status rankings are used for course assignments, with F3 being given high priority for first course assignments.
