I like these two recent posts at Pondering blather on working towards tenure. While the content of a tenure packet seems straight-forward, I like this listing of good things to keep in mind. And, it isn't a surprise that the number of publications is important...but the target itself is unclear and probably moving, even within a single department.
In the coming year my current advisor will be submitting his tenure packet. I see him as a shoe-in for tenure, given his solid research and funding record, as well as involvement in many teaching and service opportunities. Having students move towards graduation at a faster rate than peer faculty can't help. It'll be interesting to observe the process and learn as much as I can.
