Strategizing the Promotion (and Tenure) Dossier

$250.00

Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs

Preparing a dossier for promotion, and tenure for those eligible, often causes a great deal of stress centered around fears about how much is “enough.” But it shouldn’t be that way. The process will never be stress-free, but getting clarity about the expectations and having time to prioritize work that will meet those expectations can make the process kinder.

This course is designed to help demystify the review process, so that you can identify strategies that will give you the best chance of success. Each library’s criteria are different, so the focus will be on how you can get greater clarity about what is valued at your library, instead of attempting to give any one-size-fits-all advice. We’ll also discuss strategies for setting boundaries to protect your ability to prioritize those things that will count in your review, as well as practical strategies for managing your documentation.

While this course will support those who are currently preparing their dossier for full review to gain clarity about expectations and present evidence of your achievements as effectively as possible, those who still have at least a year to remedy any gaps they identify will gain the most from this course.
