Non-Instructional Evaluation (NIE) Process
Goal Setting Conference
The supervisor conducts the Goal Setting conference meetings with the employee. The supervisor and employee discuss job expectations, clarify the top performance objectives and establish two developmental and two operational SMART goals. Manager supports, measures of success, implementation dates and District priority alignment are also established during this conference. Although this is a collaborative process, if no consensus is reached, the supervisor makes the final decision.
Mid-Year Conference
The supervisor conducts Mid-Year conferences with the employee. A review of the performance to date and goal progression are discussed. Two areas of strength and two areas of improvement are also identified by the employee and the supervisor during this conference. Employees complete self-assessments at least 48 hours prior to the Mid-Year conference meeting. Evidence/documentation for both parties is required.
End-of-Year Conference
End-of-Year conferences involve a discussion between the evaluator and employee about the employee’s top job performance objectives, goal attainment and competency ratings. Employees complete and submit self-assessments with evidence at least 48 hours prior to the End-of-Year conference meetings. Supervisors should provide comments (feedback) on employee performance, and at the conclusion of this conference the employee should understand his/her supervisor’s expectations for further performance.
Upward Feedback
Employees provide insight on the management skills of supervisors – leadership and employee development. These results are shared anonymously with the supervisor and the supervisor’s manager. This is mandatory for all Central Office employees. Upward Feedback is conducted in November and April.
