NTTPs are Non-Tenure Track Full-time Positions and have the primary responsibility of teaching, and/or overseeing clinical experiences, internships, or other assigned duties in addition to teaching. NTTPs are expected to remain current in their fields of teaching and/or expertise. The University will prepare NTTPs eligible for renewal to participate in program, school, and university activities, including precepting. If you’ve been hired for a one-year non-renewable position you may participate in those activities except precepting.
Ten-month NTTP faculty assignments are 32 teaching credit hours, per academic year, typically four 4-credit courses, each Fall and Spring semesters. Twelve-month NTTP faculty assignments are 40 teaching credit hours, spread over the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters, typically four 4-credit courses during each of the three semesters. Other duties may be assigned in lieu of teaching, such as clinical or student supervision, academically-related duties, or appropriate in-unit program-related responsibilities. These specific non-teaching duties will be assigned by the Dean, and specified in an NTTP’s letter of appointment. NTTPs are expected to be present on campus as necessary to perform their assigned responsibilities, including office hours as well as contributing service to the program, school, and the university, for example, by serving on committees and actively participating in a committees’ work. The nature of the service may vary with programmatic needs and capabilities of the NTTP(s).
NTTPs are initially appointed to a probationary period consisting of five 10-month or 12-month contracts, followed by a two (2) year contract, or a three (3) year contract. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to initially appoint an NTTP for up to three years, subject to evaluation and reappointment each year. Appointment and reappointments of NTTPs will be based on successful performance of teaching and other assigned duties and/or continuing programmatic need. Ten-month NTTPs are employed from September 1-June 30. Twelve-month NTTPs are employed from July 1-June 30. For additional information regarding appointment and reappointment/non-reappointment, please refer to the MOA on NTTPs.
The criteria for evaluation of NTTPs will be based on the terms of individual contract(s) and should include but are not limited to:
- Evidence of excellence in teaching effectiveness, including professional development to maintain currency in their subject matter and their teaching skills/abilities.
- Evidence of excellence in meeting service responsibilities
- Any additional documentation specified in University, School, and Program Standards except those related to scholarship and/or creative activity.
- NTTPs will undergo evaluations following the timing/schedule for Part-Time Faculty, and Visiting Faculty Hired Pursuant to XIII-D faculty positions.
- Timing for reappointment files follows existing procedures for the evaluation of Part-Time Faculty, and Visiting Faculty Hired Pursuant to XIII-D and XIII-O but not file contents, with the exception that additional materials for any in-load non-teaching duties will be required. A timeline can be found by isolating and selecting “Faculty: NTTP” at this web site.
- An NTTP’s evaluation and reappointment file will include required background material as identified in Section XIII.B.1. in the Evaluation of Faculty and Library Faculty for Tenure, Reappointment, Promotion and Range Adjustment (2015).
- A first Year NTTP’s file should include a short (one-page) reflection on their first semester at Stockton, syllabi, and student evaluations for first semester courses. If they are assigned teaching, they are expected to have a peer observation during their first semester and include the report in their file. If assigned other duties, they are expected to provide relevant documentation of job performance. Absent extraordinary circumstances requiring documentation, no additional materials are required of First Year NTTPs.
- Files of all other NTTPs should include a Self-Evaluation of no more than 5 pages that consists of an overall assessment of their achievements in teaching, service, and/or other contractual duties, as assigned. Additionally, if applicable, the file should include a Teaching Portfolio with representative syllabi, student evaluations of teaching, two peer-observation reports per year, evaluations of precepting, any optional documentation of teaching excellence, and documentation of service. NTTPs are expected to provide relevant documentation of job performance.
- NTTPs whose qualifications meet or exceed the requirements for a higher level shall be eligible for advancement consideration to that level after five years (5) of consecutive service in their position. NTTPs who receive advancement to a higher level shall advance the equivalent of three (3) salary ranges which will be computed pursuant to Article XXII, Section C.1 in the Master Agreement.
- An eligible full-time NTTP may make a written application for advancement consideration following the normal promotion cycle for full-time faculty identified in the annual Personnel Actions Calendar on or before November 1.
- Core files for advancement will be identified within existing Policy II-10 and existing procedures for promotion for full-time faculty, according to the guidelines for “Review Files for Candidates seeking Promotion” in Section XIII.B.1. in the Evaluation of Faculty and Library Faculty for Tenure, Reappointment, Promotion and Range Adjustment (2015), with the exception that documentation of achievement in scholarship and/or creative activity is not required. Also, external reviews will not be required for NTTP files for advancement at any level. The application may be accompanied by any substantiating documentation which the individual cares to submit.
NTTPs are eligible to apply for any/all internal funding opportunities for research and professional development available to regular full-time faculty, including professional development opportunities.
NTTPs receive professional development support needed for reappointment and advancement.
NTTPs in their first year of a contract eligible for renewal will receive 4 TCH to be taken as a course release to partake in university run professional development and orientation sessions. An NTTP can only take advantage of this opportunity once; newly hired NTTPs will automatically be scheduled in the professional development and orientation sessions during their first year at Stockton.
Twelve-month NTTPs assigned in-person, non-teaching duties that do not align with the traditional academic teaching calendar, shall be allotted 22 vacation days to be taken within the year they are awarded. Twelve-month NTTPs shall be responsible for requesting and recording their university-approved time in the same way AFT Professional Staff do for the entire 12 months of their contracts and will be expected to be on campus.
