Academic Performance Assessment is a key institutional process in evaluating academic faculty to ensure quality and maximum output in all key areas of their assigned responsibility. The current paper provides an overview of the Academic Performance standards for higher education faculty in the United Arab Emirates. These standards are set by various educational authorities in the UAE, such as the Commission for Academic Accreditation (Ministry of Education), the National Qualifications Authority, and the private and public higher education institutions of the country. Three key areas of performance are included, namely, Teaching Effectiveness, Scholarly Activities, and Academic and Community Service. The current paper proposes an assessment model addressing these areas and includes: assessment criteria and indicators, rubrics. timeline and procedure guidelines, post-assessment action plan, assessment forms (lesson observation, Academic Dean assessment, faculty action plan assessment, student assessment, final grade).
