NON-TEACHER APPRAISAL SYSTEM

DEPARTMENT GOALS FOR

GOAL-SETTING CONFERENCES

November3, 2014

Department Goals are one of the eight Professional Competencies used to appraise non-teacher employees.Descriptions of each competency are included in the tables below. The non-teacher employee’s designation in PeopleSoft will determine which document will apply (manager or non-manager). Detailed rubrics are available that define the performance levels of each competency.

Please refer to the following guidelines regarding Department Goals:

  • Department Goals should be communicated to the non-teacher employee no later than the Goal-Setting Conference.
  • Principals and department heads will have the ability to customize assignment of department goals by individual non-teacher employees.
  • In preparation for entering department goals into the PeopleSoft system later in the semester, principals and department heads should maintain a comprehensive list of all department goals assigned to non-teacher employees within their campus/department.
