Materials Checklists - Professor in the Practice

Preliminary materials

1. Updated detailed CV, professional resume, or biography to include the following:
   • Degrees and other applicable educational background
   • Academic appointment and relevant employment history
   • Chronological lists of work published, produced, performed, created, or other professional representations of your work.
   • If applicable, past and current (most important) grants and fellowships, including role (e.g., principal investigator), dates, and amount of funding and, in the case of collaborative grants, the portion allocated to your salary, research program, or project
   • A chronological list of all the courses you have taught at Yale or elsewhere and their enrollments. For courses taught at Yale, administrative staff members in departments and programs can obtain summary reports with this information. Also include your contribution to the course (e.g., course director or co-director, number of lectures given, contact hours) 
   • A comprehensive list of additional teaching, advising, and other contributions at Yale or elsewhere (e.g., senior essays or other capstone projects; direction of student productions; formal and informal mentoring; organizing of academic and/or artistic/creative groups; advising of student organizations; service on departmental and university committees)
   • A list of current and former students, indicating their current positions or professional accomplishments
   • A list of any awards, prizes, or other special recognition received by you and by any of your current or former students.
   • A comprehensive list of your other professional service activities (selection committees, juries, editorial boards, boards of directors, conference or festival organizing, leadership in professional organizations, etc.)
2. A list of up to 3 experts in your field(s) from whom we might consider soliciting an external "arm's-length" referee/evaluator letter. Note: We understand that in some fields, traditional referee letters may not be a conventional form of professional evaluation. In such cases, published reviews or other forms of journalistic criticism, committee or jury reports with appropriate clearance, formal critiques, or other modes of field-specific critical evaluation are permitted.  

Final materials

1. Updated detailed academic CV, following the same specifications as (1) above
2. A statement of 250–500 words describing your most significant contributions, both formal and informal as reflected in, as applicable, departmental, university, and/or professional service and citizenship
3. A statement of 500–750 words describing your approach to teaching, advising, and mentoring
4. A statement of 750–1000 words describing published, produced, performed, created, or other professional representations of your work as well as your future plans 
5. A set of 3 to 5 selected examples or excerpts of your work for referees/evaluators and the relevant tenure and appointments committee to review. These are usually published, produced, performed, created or other professional representations of work that should help the committee grasp the range and significance of your professional practice and output. An annotated cover sheet or list should be included that provides the source for each selection. Each citation should describe your specific contribution to the work and how it has advanced your field(s).
6. Any additional materials you would like your academic unit to consider as it proceeds with the review
