STMA Director Summary Performance Evaluation

A performance evaluation plan is designed to foster communication between the Director and superintendent centered on established targets and expected results while allowing the Director to demonstrate his/her management skills. The focus of this performance evaluation plan is on leadership competencies to improve the performance of the department and impact it will have on supporting teaching and learning in the District’s schools. In addition, ongoing improvement will promote a community view of the department as a positive and high performing department that uses district resources efficiently and effectively.

The superintendent will complete this document as a summative assessment of each Director’s current level of performance on the STMA Director Standards. The procedure will include the following:

The superintendent will consider observations from meetings, on-going communications and other relevant sources demonstrating performance in determining the rating for each item.
The Director will offer performance information under each standard through self-assessment and documentation.
The superintendent will offer summative commentary under each standard.
The superintendent will hold an evaluation conference with the Director being evaluated to discuss the performance findings.

The following rating scale will be used for evaluating STMA Directors:

· Not Assessed: Superintendent was not able to make a judgment about the level of performance

· Needs Improvement: Director did not meet the standard and adequate growth is not demonstrated toward meeting the standard

· Developing: Director did not meet the standard for performance, but demonstrated adequate growth toward meeting the standard

· Proficient: Director demonstrated basic competence on the standard of performance

· Exemplary: Director consistently and significantly exceeded basic competence on the standard of performance
