As such, this statement is the committee members’ first impression of you.

The narrative is the first personal item in the dossier and appears immediately after the cover sheets and the College and division policies.

It is never too early to ask colleagues for examples of their narratives. It is a good idea to give yourself at least one month to develop your statement, especially if you plan to seek input from colleagues.

Do not put off writing your narrative until the last minute.

Also, once you have a draft of your statement, ask your division head and/or colleagues in your program/field to give you feedback.

Ask colleagues in your program/field to share their narrative statements with you.

The narrative statement should not exceed 2,000 words this word length will be reduced to 1,600 words when there are no candidates pursuing tenure who were in their probationary period in calendar year 2020.” (from Administrative Guidelines for AC23 Promotion and Tenure Procedures and Regulations). We encourage candidates to be as succinct as possible. Candidates for promotion and tenure were encouraged (but not required) to describe how the events of 2020/21 (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic, societal/racial tensions, political unrest) impacted their work, and the steps they took to manage these impacts, in the narrative that accompanies their dossier for promotion and/or tenure. The purpose of this statement is not so much to call attention to achievements that are listed elsewhere in the dossier as it is to afford candidates the opportunity to place their work and activities in the context of their overall goals and agendas.

What sort of filing and indexing system are you going to have? (Some developers choose to design an indexing system that lists contents language by language, others prefer to structure the Dossier so that all the learner’s languages are recorded in a single index.“A narrative statement indicates a candidate’s sense of their scholarship of teaching and learning scholarship of research and creative accomplishments and service and the scholarship of service to the University, society, and the profession.

When designing the Dossier developers should also consider the following questions:

It should contain examples of the learner’s “best work” (evidence of what he or she can do in one or more languages) as well as certificates and attestations. A display dossier can be tailored for a particular purpose, for example an application for a job or for a course of study. The display dossier can be said to provide evidence for the learner’s self-assessment. It can be used for a variety of purposes including formative assessment, reflection on the learning process as well as a place to keep work in progress. The process dossier can be said to provide a picture of the learner’s progress. Some developers have found it helpful to distinguish between a “display dossier” (a selection of work that demonstrates the user’s learning achievement) and a “process dossier” (work in progress).

It should be open for the full range of skills and experience. It should be adapted to the needs and specificity of the target learner group.

It requires a system for keeping a record of what has been selected. This section offers the learner the opportunity to select materials to document and illustrate achievements or experiences recorded in the Language Biography or Passport.
