1. jump to other positions at the university for slight increases.
2. jump to another position at another university (better increases)
3. jump to another position outside higher ed (much better increases, but perhaps less work/life balance) and then come back to higher ed 2+ years later.
4. My personal formula: fill vacuums and build up more responsibilities that require position re-writes and perhaps more staff under you. I've been in the same department for 15 years and have had 5 promotions in that time into positions that didn't exist before I filled them, and this was all due to being willing to strategize around unfilled vacuums. In the highly distributed world of higher ed, there are always ways that things can be accomplished more effectively, but it does require some politicking and strategizing.

For me, this book really helped in that regard: https://www.amazon.com/Political-Savvy-Systematic-Approaches-Leadership/dp/0966763602/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=political+savvy&qid=1636917742&sr=8-1

You can find it used for much less money.

Good luck!

Note: Press Release 2/23/15, 'Calling for...No Confidence...' should say "$300 million budget cut". (emphasis on million). As Governor Walker would, we're chalking it up to a Drafting Error. The corrected version is here: https://www.scribd.com/doc/256686830/ASAP-Press-Release-2-23-15-1

Disclaimer: I have hired helped make hire/fire decisions for faculty members but never worked specifically in a College of Nursing.

That aside, she should expect to be asked about her philosophy on teaching and learning. It is possible they may ask her to do a teaching demonstration, but likely they would have conveyed that well in advance.

For new faculty, I used this as my "teaching 101": https://www.amazon.com/Teaching-Its-Best-Research-Based-Instructors/dp/0470401044

Overall, I can't think of anything to avoid. I usually like to be asked 'what is the typical day like,' or something to that effect.

Ofelia Garcia has a great chapter on bilingual assessment in the text "Bilingual Eduction in the 21st Century". Also, you probably need better search terms and probably a better search engine if you can't find articles. Try scholar.google.com and use "bilingual assessment" or "second language assessment" or similar.

When I was in college in the 1960s, I used my Dad's copy of Hausmann and Slack and the college library's copy of Neyman's lecture series to learn physics. I can't even remember what the assigned textbook was, but those two books were vastly superior. Don't get me started about how wonderful the Schaum's Outline Series are (and cheap). I still have my copies of those too. I'll probably take Hausmann and Slack with me when I go to the nursing home.

Tenure is not the problem. See this book:

I get that tenure makes people jealous, but serious study shows that it is not the problem these arguments suggest. There are more hidden benefits than costs.

More recently, Michael Young spoke about tenure, again asserting it is not a problem:
