In 2016, as part of a three person team, Lisa Looney and Sean Bernard led the efforts to create a new teaching evaluation policy and a larger set of faculty-related policies within a new Faculty Handbook. As chair of the Faculty Policies Committee (Lisa) and Faculty Senate President (Sean), these leaders worked for 2 years with colleagues across the University of LaVerne (ULV) to launch and implement this systemic change project. The project began with the need for a new teaching evaluation policy but quickly evolved as campuswide conversations established that there was a lack of clarity and consistency on many faculty-related policies, not just those related to teaching evaluations. This Case Study describes the creation of the new Faculty Handbook and teaching evaluation policy and the Leader Moves that Sean and Lisa made to enact these changes at ULV.
