Here the need exists for concerned members ofa department to begin the process. Much like creating a text, select faculty members must becomethe catalyst to encourage other members to talk about communication and how they approach it intheir own writing and in their courses. Discussion among faculty members will help to bring thecommunication issue to the forefront. As discussion continues, the particular methods used toinclude communication tasks in one's course will become evident. These approaches may beminimal. They may include only formal reports with

, is most likely informal in nature, as instructor evaluations fall undera vast degree of confidentiality issues. However, for a new faculty member, this may be one ofthe most important uses for evaluations.Beyond basic mentoring, the first area where faculty evaluations are used is in faculty retention.At a teaching oriented school, a professor who constantly receives poor instructor evaluationsmost likely will not be employed for extended periods. This is especially important for facultymembers who are not in a tenure track position.The first person who reviews instructor evaluations is typically the department chair. Inreviewing instructor evaluations, the department chair is typically looking for two things. Atsome point, there is a

FERPA, the FamilyEducational Rights and Privacy Act, governs what information may be disclosed by facultymembers and to whom it may be disclosed.
