Evaluation Philosophy. We believe evaluation is a cooperative process where in the individual being evaluated and the one responsible for making the assessment feels a joint responsibility for all performance areas. They should work together, especially in those areas needing improvement, to achieve prescribed goals. We believe performance improvement is not accidental, but is the result of a deliberate effort to achieve it. We believe evaluation is a means—not an end in itself and that it should motivate the individual and initiate help from administrators and supervisors so that qualitative performance may occur. We believe there should be performance guidelines or standards which staff members may use in self- evaluation and which evaluator’s may employ as they assist those whom they are evaluating. We believe the individual being evaluated should have an appraisal conference, should see and be given a copy of his/her evaluation records and should feel free and unthreatened to dissent from the evaluator’s judgments.
