  5. Scholarship Reconsidered (Boyer, 1990) “What we need, then, in higher education is a reward system that reflects the diversity of our institutions and the breadth of scholarship, as well. The challenge is to strike a balance among teaching, research, and service, a position supported by two-thirds of today’s faculty who conclude that, ‘‘at my institution, we need better ways, besides publication, to evaluate scholarly performance of faculty.’’ National Changes

  10. Measuring/Standards: Appropriate Methods: Does the scholar use methods appropriate to the goals? Does the scholar apply effectively the methods selected? Does the scholar modify procedures in response to changing circumstances? National Changes

  11. Measuring/Standards: Significant Results: Does the scholar achieve the goals? Does the scholar’s work add consequentially to the field? Does the scholar’s work open additional areas for further exploration? National Changes

  12. Measuring/Standards: Effective Presentation: Does the scholar use a suitable style and effective organization to present his or her work? Does the scholar use appropriate forums for communicating the work to its intended audiences? Does the scholar present his or her message with clarity and integrity? National Changes
