Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n
Thank you for the time and effort you spend considering this portfolio, which contains evidence and personal reflection in support of my application for tenure and promotion. \u00a0I hope that this site\u00a0is easily navigable, and that in reading through it, you are able to gain some sense of who I am\u00a0as an ACU professor, scholar, and colleague. \u00a0The evidence and reflection in this portfolio seek to convey, most fundamentally, that I enjoy my work\u00a0as a history and global studies professor at ACU and have a strong sense of vocation for this work, that I teach effectively and influence students’ minds and hearts towards critical and Christ-oriented thinking, and that I have grown and will continue to grow as a teacher, scholar,\u00a0and colleague. \u00a0By submitting this portfolio for your review, I apply for tenure and for promotion to the rank of associate professor. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The portfolio is divided into five major sections: \u00a0Teaching, Scholarship, Service, Collegiality, and CV. \u00a0Each of these major sections, with the exception of the CV, is subdivided further. \u00a0You may navigate through the portfolio in a suggested linear fashion by following the links at the bottom of each page, or you may use the menus at the beginning of each of the major sections. \u00a0For your immediate reference and ease of navigation, I include links to all of my\u00a0annual reviews with my department chairs, student evaluations of my courses, and letters of support from colleagues and former students here:<\/p>\n Annual Reviews<\/a><\/p>\n Student Course Evaluations<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0These same student evaluations are also located in the Teaching section, where they are accompanied by syllabi, contextual explanation, and reflection.<\/p>\n Letters of Support<\/a> \u00a0I have linked the letters here for your convenience, but they are also located and contextualized within\u00a0the relevant sections of the portfolio.<\/p>\n Again, many thanks for your consideration. \u00a0I know that the work of the tenure and promotion committee is time-consuming, and I genuinely appreciate each of you for being willing to serve in this way.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Kelly Elliott<\/p>\n >Next section: \u00a0Portfolio Introduction<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Colleagues: Thank you for the time and effort you spend considering this portfolio, which contains evidence and personal reflection in support of my application for tenure and promotion. \u00a0I hope that this site\u00a0is easily navigable, and that in reading … Continue reading
