Professional Development & Performance Report (PDPR)
The Professional Development and Performance Report (PDPR) is one component of the annual review process for Messiah University faculty members. This report is the beginning of the annual review process, which takes place near the end of each contract year. The PDPR allows faculty members to document performance in all areas of faculty responsibility. The PDPR includes development goals, self-assessment of goals from the previous year, comments from the department chair/program director, and assessment by the faculty member’s dean.
