Teacher Accreditation and De-Accreditation Policy
The PPGS/UFC faculty accreditation and de-accreditation policy establishes clear criteria for the selection, evaluation, and retention of faculty members in the program.
Accreditation: New faculty are accredited at the beginning of each postgraduate evaluation cycle, upon submission of an application dossier that must include: 1. A work plan detailing the line of research the faculty member intends to pursue, the research project to be developed, the courses they plan to teach, and the articles they intend to submit for publication. 2. A memorandum highlighting their scientific production over the past five years and their most relevant academic and professional experiences, accompanied by an updated Lattes CV. It is also necessary to include a list of undergraduate and graduate work supervised, such as monographs, dissertations, and theses, demonstrating their experience and involvement in academic education.
De-accreditation: De-accreditation occurs at the end of each postgraduate evaluation cycle, either voluntarily by the faculty member or due to a performance evaluation conducted by the PPGS coordination committee, based on the following criteria: intellectual production below the faculty average; insufficient contribution to teaching, research, and advising activities; and low participation in meetings, committees, and commissions. Assessing compliance with these responsibilities is essential to ensure faculty quality and engagement with the program.
