Promotion Reflection Examples

The reflection examples are provided to share what creative, intellectual work in a reflection piece could look like. Remember--these are only examples, not to be duplicated in style, but to be used as a starting point in thinking about what reflection is really about. We encourage you to express your scholarly work in a variety of different ways in your own reflection piece. It is critical that the supportive pieces you select are sound examples of evidences of your creative, intellectual work. In addition, your support pieces should be the strongest pieces to support your work, should relate to your plan of work and success stories. It is better to have 20 good support pieces than to have 30 not so good. Quality is the most important issue.

Posted you will find:

Instructor to Assistant Professor - 4 page reflection
Assistant to Associate Professor with Tenure - 8 page reflection
Associate Professor to Professor - 8 page reflection

The reflection piece is an important part of your portfolio but it is the whole document that gives the reviewer the entire picture of your body work. I encourage you to look at a variety of different portfolios, including those from other departments. Keep in mind that you want to select the highest quality portfolio's as examples, even those that passed several years prior. It would be devastating to you and our department if the DFD portfolios started looking the same....as if we used a cookie cutter approach.

Your mentors are there to help you in your success. Use them early and often and give them adequate time to respond to your document and questions. We also request that your mentors review your entire document before it is submitted to the Standards, Rank and Promotion (SRP) committee.

Consider the mentor/mentee handbook a resource as well as the SRP appendices on our DFD website.

Your SRP Committee members can answer basic questions as well as those with recent SRP or Faculty Tenure Advisory (FTAC) Committee experience. Those with recent experience may also be available to serve as a reader as you approach your final document.
