A majority yes-vote among the full-time faculty in the School of Education is required before an applicant is formally approved to teach (pending final approval from Academic HR).

  • Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership (Ed.D.)
  • Educational Administration Certification
  • M.Ed. for Practicing Teachers

You may wish to read information on the following:

Canvas

UW Seattle automatically provisions course sites for all courses being taught, by all faculty, as soon as the time schedule for each quarter is released. This mean that you may already have a course site for your class on Canvas that you can begin to develop.

Class Attendance

Attendance in class by students is not mandatory. Therefore, grades cannot be decreased due to lack of attendance. If you have class participation as part of the assessment of grade you may grade students on class participation.

Class Lists

Once you have established a UW Net ID and log-in for UWT, you can view and print your class lists by using MyUW. Open MyUW as if you were logging on to your email. On the left-hand side of the page, you will see a teaching tab. Click on the teaching tab and "My Class Resources" opens. At the top right in the colored band you will see Class List. Now you can see and print your list. Also in the top colored band is the icon with 4 silhouette, click this and you will see pictures of your students. Finally, if you would like a class list spreadsheet emailed to you, click on the blue "Request class email list".

Classroom Supplies

Supplies are available for use in classrooms. You may help yourself to the supplies that are in the storage room located within the suite, WCG 324 F. If there is something that you need in particular, please email Donna Braboy at donnap@uw.edu with your request.

Classroom Support by Information Technology

For more information on Classroom Support by Information Technology CLICK HERE.

If you would like to utilize the copy machine, please email Donna Braboy donnap@uw.edu to request a copy code. Copies are limited to 100 copies per course (even though copying two-sided reduces paper, please note it still counts as 2 copies).

Copies for courses should be limited to exams (even these can be done via Canvas) and/or items that need to be kept confidential until distribution during class.

Course Evaluations

The Office of Educational Assessment is responsible for providing assessment support to all University of Washington colleges, schools and programs. OEA administers the UW-developed Instructional Assessment System (IASystem) to collect, achive and report course evaluations across the UW system. On the UW Tacoma campus, our academic program administrators are responsible for configuring and managing quarterly evaluations (IASystem Coordinator). For the School of Education the IASystem Coordinator is Donna Braboy.

IASystem Access

Grades

Grades are due on the first Tuesday following final examination week by 5:00pm. Grades are done online through Catalyst GradePage

The University of Washington Tacoma uses a numerical grading system at both the graduate and undergraduate levels of instruction. Graduate students must follow the grading system as outlined by the graduate school.

A minimum grade of 2.7 is required in each course that is to be counted toward a graduate degree. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above is required to receive a degree from the Graduate School. A graduate students' GPA is calculated entirely on the basis of numeric grades in 400-and 500-level courses. The grades of S, NS, CR, NC and N are excluded, as are all grades in courses numbered 600, 601, 700, 750 and 800, and in courses at the 100, 200, and 300 levels.

Failure to maintain a 3.0 GPA, either cumulative or for a given quarter, constitutes low scholarship and may lead to a change-in-status action by the Graduate School. Failure to maintain satisfactory performance and progress toward a degree may also result in a change-in-status action by the Graduate School.

For Master of Education students, please review the Grading system for graduate students.

For Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership (Ed.D) students, please review the Ed.D. Grading Scale.

Mail, Telephone Messages and Email Accounts

You will be assigned a mailbox in the School of Education Office, WCG 324, where incoming campus and public mail is distributed daily. Outgoing mail should be left in the postal bin near the mailboxes. Your designated office phone number is the School of Education main office number 253-692-4430. You may use this number as your telephone contact for students and UWT administration.

Office Hours

All faculty regardless of title are responsible to hold office hours. Because most lecturers are not on campus full time you can set up office hours as you wish. The Lecturer Center in Keystone (KEY) 200 has been provided to the University of Washington Tacoma campus as a resource for use by lecturer faculty members. Please contact Donna Braboy for information on how to get access. Student class schedules and needs vary according to class and quarter. It is suggested that you make yourself available to students via email and let them know when you will check email and in what period of time they can expect a response. If a student needs to speak with you face-to-face, let them know you will meet with them by appointment only.

Parking

UW Tacoma students, faculty and staff are able to purchase a parking permit for any UW Tacoma lot, with the exception of the Cragle and Pinkerton lots.

To purchase a parking permit, please visit the Purchasing UW Tacoma Parking Permit website.

Payroll

Workday - Hiring & Payroll System:

The University of Washington uses Workday to process hiring appointments and payroll.  New employees will receive multiple emails from Workday as part of the onboarding process.  These steps will also assist you in creating a unique UW Net ID if you do not already have one.

Workday is the system that houses all your personal, benefit and payroll information.  You will be required to use a two-factor (2FA) solution to view or modify this information.

To learn more about Workday and the 2FA process, please visit the online resources located on the UW Integrated Service Center website:  https://isc.uw.edu/new-to-workday/

Payroll & Compensation:

Payday’s are on the 10th and 25th of each month.  Exceptions to these dates are when the 10th or 25th fall on a weekend or holiday.  Pay slips can be accessed in Workday.  Paychecks will be mailed to the address you have on file in Workday unless you have established direct deposit.  The University encourages direct deposit for all employees.  For more information on paychecks and how to set-up direct deposit in Workday, please visit the online resources:  https://isc.uw.edu/your-pay-taxes/paycheck-info/

Student Papers

Students can drop off and pick up papers from the School of Education office. The front desk staff will date stamp incoming papers and place them in the faculty mailbox. It is highly recommended that all students papers be returned to them in class. If this is not possible, you may file them for students to pick up in the filing cabinet located in the main entrance of the suite. Please follow FERPA guidelines for returning papers. It is very important that all student papers be sealed so that other students cannot see grades being issued.
