PART I: INTRODUCTION AND PROCESS

INTRODUCTION The Franklin City Public Schools Support Staff Performance Evaluation System complies with the Code of

Virginia requirements. These evaluation criteria provide standards by which the performance of Support

Staff is assessed. They also are intended to assist Support Staff to focus upon his/her overall professional

growth.

PURPOSES

The primary purposes are to:

♦ improve school quality by ensuring accountability for overall performance,

♦ contribute to the successful achievement of the vision, mission, and goals of Franklin

City Public Schools,

♦ provide a basis for improvement through productive support staff appraisal and

professional growth, and

♦ share responsibility for evaluation between the support staff member and the evaluator in

a collaborative process that promotes self-growth, operational effectiveness, and

improvement of overall job performance.

The evaluation system includes the following characteristics:

♦ a system for documenting support staff performance based on multiple data sources,

♦ a procedure for conducting performance reviews that stresses accountability, promotes

professional improvement, and increases support staff involvement in the evaluation process,

♦ a support system for providing assistance when needed, and

♦ a description of the procedures for appealing a rating.

IDENTIFYING SUPPORT STAFF

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Clearly defined responsibilities for Support Staff constitute the foundation for the Support Staff

Performance Evaluation System. A fair and comprehensive evaluation system provides sufficient

detail and accuracy so that both support staff members and their evaluators will reasonably

understand the job expectations.

The expectations for support staff performance are defined using a two-tiered approach.

Performance Standards Performance Indicators

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Performance standards refer to the major duties performed by a support staff member. For all support

staff, there are ten (10) performance standards. These expectations relate to the qualities of effective

performance of support staff members.

Performance Standard 1: Quality of Work and Productivity

The support staff member completes work efficiently and accurately according to timelines and

provides timely feedback and follow-up.

Performance Standard 2: Job Specific Knowledge and Skills

The Support Staff Member displays necessary skills necessary to fulfill job responsibilities

Performance Standard 3: Dependability and Reliability

The Support Staff Member consistently completes assigned tasks precisely and efficiently with minimal supervision, fulfills time commitments, and displays effective and efficient use of time

Performance Standard 4: Initiative/Motivation

The Support Staff Member demonstrates a “can-do” attitude. Consistently looks for what

needs to be done rather than waiting to be told and continuously seeks to identify betters ways

of doing things.

Performance Standard 5: Organization and Planning

The Support Staff Member plans, organizes, and completes work tasks in an acceptable manner.

Performance Standard 6: Problem Solving Skills

The Support Staff member approaches problems in a positive manner and identifies practical

solutions to problems.

Performance Standard 7: Communication Skills

The Support Staff Member demonstrates clear, accurate, effective and appropriate oral and written communication.

Performance Standard 8: Interpersonal Skills

The Support Staff Member’s interactions with others are friendly, tactful, positive and appropriate and employee works as a team member.

Performance Standard 9: Attitude Towards Job

The Support Staff Member regularly demonstrates enthusiasm in the performance of his/her duties. .

Performance Standard 10: Professionalism

The Support Staff Member maintains a professional appearance for the position in both dress and manner.

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS A set of performance indicators has been developed (see Part II) to provide examples of observable,

tangible behaviors. That is, the performance indicators are examples of the types of performance

that will occur when the standard is being successfully met. The list of performance indicators is

not exhaustive. Further, all support staff members are not expected to demonstrate each

performance indicator. Where indicators do not effectively capture the essence of a particular

position, additional indicators may be identified through collaboration between the evaluator and

the support staff member. As an illustration, performance indicators for the

standard are listed in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Sample of Performance Standard and Indicators

Performance Standard 1: Quality of Work and

Productivity The support staff member completes work efficiently and accurately according to timelines and provides timely feedback and follow-up.

Sample Performance Indicators

The support staff member: 1.1 Consistently completes assigned responsibilities with minimum supervision

1.2 Rarely needs to be reminded of performance/quality expectations

1.3 Demonstrates good attention to detail

1.4 Properly uses, operates and maintains tools, equipment, technology and other resources

1.5 Demonstrates time management skills

1.6 Consistently completes task with minimal error in a timely manner.

1.7 Assures that transitions occur smoothly with little loss of productive time.

1.8 Able to complete additional unanticipated tasks when needed

1.9 Provides timely feedback and follow-up

The performance indicators are provided to help support staff members and their evaluators clarify

job expectations. As mentioned, all performance indicators may not be applicable to a particular

work assignment. Ratings are NOT made at the performance indicator level but at the

performance standard level.

DOCUMENTING PERFORMANCE

A fair and equitable performance evaluation system for the role of support staff acknowledges the

complexities of the job. Thus, multiple data sources are necessary to provide for a comprehensive

and authentic “performance portrait” of the support staff member’s work. The sources of

information briefly described in Figure 2 below were selected as a means of providing accurate

feedback on the performance of support staff.

Figure 2: Data Sources for Support Staff

Data Source

Definition

Goal Setting

Goal setting and goal fulfillment are important data sources for evaluation

and have a definite impact on achieving division-wide objectives. Support

staff members set goals for the efficient and effective operation of his/her

department. Goals may be set, in conjunction with the evaluator, for

school/department improvement, as well as professional growth.

Documentation

Log

Optional or as requested - The Documentation Log includes artifacts

providing evidence that the support staff member is seeking an

exemplary rating in selected performance standards.

Each of these data sources are described in additional detail on the following pages.

GOAL SETTING

Support staff members have an indirect, but influential impact on student learning and academic

performance. While teachers develop goals for their specific classes, support staff members

develop goals relative to their areas of responsibility. The purposes of goal setting include focusing

attention on:

♦ maintaining and enhancing effective and efficient operations;

♦ decision making based on sound fiscal management;

♦ promotion of continued staff development and professional growth;

Along with all approved Franklin City Public Schools Division Level Goals and Action Plans,

support staff members will set individual goals for professional growth and outcomes for the

school/department. The goals will be customized for the support assignment. The goals will be

reviewed with the evaluator at the start of the school year; then they will be reviewed both mid-

year and at the end of the year. The goals and documentation of goal fulfillment represent a

primary data source for support staff evaluation.

DOCUMENTATION LOG

A Documentation Log or portfolio serves as a system for collecting data and documenting work

quality during each evaluation cycle. Specifically, the Documentation Log houses pertinent data

that:

1) confirm the support staff member’s effort to document exemplary performance, or 2)

demonstrate progress in response to a previously-identified deficiency.

Written analysis and reflection on the artifacts may be included as needed.

Formal evaluation of performance quality typically occurs at the summative evaluation stage,

which comes at the end of the evaluation cycle. The ratings for each performance standard are

based on multiple sources of information and are completed only after pertinent data from all

sources have been reviewed. The integrated data constitute the evidence used to determine the

performance ratings for the support staff member’s evaluation

Page 11: Franklin City Public Schools SUPPORT STAFF EVAL... · 2016-08-30 · 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Support Staff Performance Evaluation System for the Franklin City Public Schools was developed

11

EVALUATION SCHEDULE

Documentation records are maintained by both the support staff member and the evaluator for the

entire evaluation cycle. At the end of an evaluation cycle, the evaluator submits the Support Staff

Summative Performance Evaluation Report to the Human Resources office for placement in the

support staff member’s personnel file by June 30. Figure 5 details the evaluation schedule for

support staff. As illustrated in Figure 5, the procedures for evaluating the performance of support

staff rely on multiple data sources.

ASSESSING PERFORMANCE

DEFINITIONS OF RATINGS

There are two major considerations in assessing the quality of the job performance of support staff:

the actual job responsibility (the what) and the way in which the responsibility is performed (the

how well). The identified job responsibilities provide a description of what is expected of the

support staff member and the rating scale assists evaluators in judging performance quality,

or how well the support staff member is performing.

Evaluators have four distinct ratings to use for assessing the support staff member’s performance.

The definitions that follow below offer general descriptions of those ratings. NOTE: Ratings

are applied to the performance standards, NOT performance indicators.

Level 4: Exemplary

Performance that consistently exceeds the expected level of performance.

Level 3: Proficient Performance that consistently meets expectations resulting in quality work in the

accomplishment of the job performance standards identified for the support staff member. This

is the acceptable performance level that is expected.

Level 2: Performance Developing/Needs Improvement Inconsistently performs at the established standard or performs in a manner that is inconsistent

with the division’s mission and goals.

Level 1: Performance is Unsatisfactory Unsatisfactory performance that requires significant improvement to justify continued

employment. The evaluator should cite specific evidence in a narrative format (i.e., describe

examples of specific behaviors on the part of the support staff member that illustrate the

deficiency).

Comments may indicate if the support staff member’s performance might exceed

performance standards. If so, comments should specify how the performance exceeds those

standards.

Comments also may indicate if the support staff member’s performance meets the criteria, but

still requires improvement. If so, comments should specify the performance standards in which

the evaluator desires improvement and the means by which that improvement will be measured.

RATING PERFORMANCE

Mid-year Performance Review The support staff member’s performance goals will be reviewed mid-year with the evaluator by

January 30th. If adjustments are to be made, they will be noted on the goal-setting form. The

mid-year goal-setting review provides an opportunity to identify strengths and areas for

improvement prior to the annual summative evaluation (see Part III).

Page 13: Franklin City Public Schools SUPPORT STAFF EVAL... · 2016-08-30 · 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Support Staff Performance Evaluation System for the Franklin City Public Schools was developed

Summative Performance Review

The support staff member’s summative evaluation should be completed by June 30th of each year.

SINGLE SUMMATIVE RATING In addition to receiving a diagnostic rating for each of the ten performance standards, the support staff

member will receive a single summative evaluation rating at the conclusion of the evaluation cycle. This

summative rating will reflect an overall evaluation rating for the employee. The intent is not to replace the

diagnostic value of the ten performance standards; rather it is to provide an overall rating of the employee’s

performance.

The overall summative rating will be judged “acceptable” or “unacceptable”.

Summative ratings apply the rating for each of the ten performance standards. In determining the final

summative rating, the following approach will be used:

1. Apply numbers 1 (unacceptable) through 4 (exemplary) to the rating scale

Exemplary = 4

Proficient = 3

Needs Improvement = 2

Unacceptable = 1;

2. Calculate the contribution of each standard to achieve the final summative evaluation.

performance standards, the highest summative performance rating the individual can be rated

is “proficient.”

2. If the employee has three or more “needs improvement” ratings from among the six

performance standards, the individual will be rated as “unacceptable.”

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PLAN

If a support staff member’s performance does not meet the expectations established by Franklin

City Public Schools, the support staff member may be placed on a Performance Improvement Plan

(see Performance Improvement Plan Form in Part III).

A Performance Improvement Plan is designed to assist the support staff member in addressing

areas of concern through targeted supervision and additional resources. A Performance

Improvement Plan will be required if either of the following ratings is given on a Support Staff

Summative Performance Evaluation Report:

♦ a rating of “Developing/Needs Improvement” on four or more performance standards, or

♦ a rating of “Unsatisfactory” on two or more performance standards or an overall rating of

“Unsatisfactory.”

Placement on a Performance Improvement Plan is at the discretion of the evaluator. Additionally,

a support staff member may be placed on a Performance Improvement Plan at any point in the

evaluation cycle.

Implementation of Performance Improvement Plan

When a support staff member is placed on a Performance Improvement Plan, the evaluator

must:

a) provide written notification to the support staff member of the area(s) of concern that

need(s) to be addressed,

b) formulate a Performance Improvement Plan in conjunction with the support staff member,

and

c) review the results of the Performance Improvement Plan with the support staff

member at the end of the Performance Improvement Plan.

Assistance may include:

♦ support from a colleague, peer or supervisor;

♦ conferences, classes, training and workshops on specific topics; and/or

♦ other resources to be identified.

Resolution of Performance Improvement Plan

Prior to the evaluator making a final recommendation, the evaluator meets with the support staff

member to review progress made on the Performance Improvement Plan, according to the timeline.

The options for a final recommendation include:

a) Sufficient improvement has been achieved; the support staff member is no longer

on a Performance Improvement Plan and is rated “Proficient”

b) Partial improvement has been achieved but more improvement is needed;

the support staff member remains on a Performance Improvement Plan and is rated

“Developing/Needs Improvement.”

Page 16: Franklin City Public Schools SUPPORT STAFF EVAL... · 2016-08-30 · 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Support Staff Performance Evaluation System for the Franklin City Public Schools was developed

16

c) Little or no improvement has been achieved; the support staff member is rated

“Unsatisfactory.”

When a support staff member is rated “Unsatisfactory,” the support staff member may be

recommended for dismissal. If not dismissed, a new improvement plan will be implemented.

Following completion of the Performance Improvement Plan, if the support staff member is

rated “Unsatisfactory” a second time, the support staff member will be recommended for

dismissal.

Request for Review of an “Unsatisfactory” Rating The support staff member may request a review of the evidence in relation to an “Unsatisfactory”

rating received on a summative evaluation, or as a result of a Performance Improvement Plan, in

accordance with the policies and procedures of the school division
