Genuinely acknowledging and rewarding these other key impact factors, such as societal engagement, teaching
excellence, and input and deliberation at key meetings and conference participation could go a long way toward balancing the demands
of academic output to publish alone, thus lessening the pressure to spend endless weekends and vacation time writing for quantity
rather than quality.
Rather than focus solely on a teacher's performance during the most recent
academic year, the teacher evaluation system should allow tenured teachers to accumulate a longer - term track record
of excellence.
