ISSUE: An issue of increasing importance to interior design faculty is the evaluation of creative scholarship for retention, promotion, and tenure. APPLICATION: Administrators in higher education institutions could better support design educators if evaluation criteria, methods, and measures were better defined. GOAL: The goal was to develop evaluation materials for creative scholarship. DESCRIPTION: The authors reviewed and refined the results of a workshop in which over 30 Midwest Regional DEC members developed or identified (1) a definition of creative scholarship, (2) evaluation criteria, (3) creative scholarship outcomes, (4) evaluation methods, and (5) measures of creative scholarship. CONCLUSION: Use of these materials by educators and administrators will help establish the importance of creative scholarship to the interior design profession.
