Appendix C2 - Common Expectations among Deans regarding the Boyer Model

Back to Faculty Handbook

  1. NSU is implementing the Boyer model.
  2. All scholarship may be divided among the four Boyer model components: Teaching, Discovery, Integration and Application.
  3. In order to count as scholarship, regardless of type, projects must have peer review of some type and dissemination to the professional public. This means that:

    1. Something original was planned and accomplished;
    2. This was shared with the appropriate publics;
    3. Feedback and evaluation were received; and
    4. An element of continuous quality improvement exists.
       
  4. Colleges will vary in proportion of scholarship types utilized for evaluation.
  5. Teaching, advising and service are a necessary and expected baseline part of a faculty member's job and, unless they fulfill the tenets of the Boyer Model, do not necessarily count as Scholarship.
