Purpose

 

  • To provide an opportunity for the Board, Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, and Secretary-Treasurer to communicate and to develop a mutual understanding of expectations and responsibilities.
  • To ensure that the essential management functions as outlined in policy are performed effectively.
  • To provide an opportunity for the Superintendent to establish divisional and administrative opportunities for continuous improvement.
  • To provide an opportunity for self reflection and professional growth.
  • To provide a basis for salary adjustment and decisions with respect to continued employment

 

Duties

 

The duties of the Assistant Superintendent and the Secretary-Treasurer are outlined in the respective job description.

 

Frequency

 

Evaluation shall be a continuous process, resulting in the formation of mutual understanding and trust between the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, and the Secretary-Treasurer.  The establishment of formal guidelines enhance this process and result in a valuable exchange of views and improved communications.  A formal evaluation shall occur at the end of the first year. Within the first three months the Superintendent will meet with the Assistant Superintendent and/or the Secretary-Treasurer to review feedback and perceptions and to prepare a plan as to how the evaluation will be conducted.

 

In addition, so as to promote opportunity for continuous improvement, the Superintendent will engage the Assistant Superintendent and the Secretary-Treasurer in an annual review exercise.  The purpose of this review is to recognize administrative accomplishments, issues, and progress on divisional priorities. A summary report will be prepared for the Board (see Procedure).

 

Subsequent evaluations shall be conducted on a four-year cycle.

 

The Superintendent shall carry out the evaluation of the Assistant Superintendent and the Secretary-Treasurer.  The evaluation will be based on established guidelines that are known to both the Assistant Superintendent and Secretary-Treasurer.        

 

Evaluation of the Assistant Superintendent

 

Prior to commencement of the evaluation process, the Assistant Superintendent and the Superintendent will have a meeting to discuss the criteria to be used and to agree on a data collection process.  Sources to consider for data collection may include school administrators, Division office staff, the Board, and on site observations.  At this conference, the Assistant Superintendent will be asked to set out his/her goals and objectives for the current year.  The Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent will decide if an outside evaluator will be used in the process.

 

The Assistant Superintendent will be encouraged to identify areas of performance in which he/she would like assistance and/or feedback.

 

In the course of the evaluation process the evaluator(s) will conduct at least three formal meetings related to the evaluation process.

 

Upon the completion of the evaluation process, a post-meeting conference will be held to discuss the data collected, the meeting, and the perceived success of attaining the goals and objectives as stated by the Assistant Superintendent.

 

Following the post-visitation conference the evaluator(s) will prepare a confidential written report, which upon completion will be shared with the Assistant Superintendent. The report will be signed and dated by both parties.  One copy of the report will be given to the Assistant Superintendent and one copy placed in his/her personnel file in the Division Office.

 

The Assistant Superintendent will have the opportunity to respond in writing to the confidential written report, and/or to initiate an appeal process.
 

Appeal procedure

 

To launch an appeal, the Assistant Superintendent shall prepare a written statement to the Board within three weeks of receiving the report.

 

 

The evaluation of the Assistant Superintendent will address the following areas:

  • Board relation and responsibilities
  • Fiscal and facilities management as per job description
  • Assistant Superintendent / staff relations
  • Educational leadership
  • Personal and professional attributes
  • Communications and professional relations

 

The evaluation form will be used as the basis for the final report (see appendix).
