Abstract: Christian higher education institutions in the U.S. face a challenge in reconciling traditional faculty evaluation and promotion structures with the imperative for continuous reform in alignment with their missions. Using a mixed methods approach, this paper explores faculty perceptions of agile methodologies for teaching and evaluation as adaptive responses to traditional systems. Results indicated frustration with traditional systems and openness to reform, but interest specific to agile evaluation varied. Implications suggest investing in professional development related to innovations and aligning promotion structures with mission to facilitate strategic behavior and relevance.
