Administrative Performance Evaluation of Wharton School

I reviewed the Administrative Performance Evaluation for the Principals of the Wharton School District. This evaluation benefits the Principal by:

• Interpreting job duties into specific goals and strategies

• Relating how the employee’s job responsibilities contributes to the overall effectiveness of the school and its mission statement.

• Delineating and prioritizing the job responsibilities, and the goals expected.

• Providing an opportunity to discuss issues with the Superintendent when assistance is needed

• Providing helpful and meaningful job performance feedback.

• Recognizing work achievements and strengths.

• Providing an opportunity for professional growth and self-improvement.

• Helping to determine a pay increase decision.

This evaluation benefits the District by:

• Communicating clearly the expected job performances, standards, and criteria used for the evaluation.

• Reinforcing the employee’s responsibility for their job performance and how it impacts the District and students.

• Provides an avenue to discuss improvements needed or reinforcing good work.

• Provides discussion of past accomplishments and allows discussion of future goals.

• Gaining insight into what is important and motivates the employee.
