PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION Section 1 General Provisions Clause Samples
The "Procedures for Evaluation" clause establishes the rules and steps for assessing performance, compliance, or other relevant criteria under an agreement. It typically outlines who is responsible for conducting evaluations, the methods or standards to be used, and the frequency or timing of such assessments. For example, it may require periodic reviews of deliverables or regular audits to ensure contractual obligations are met. The core function of this clause is to provide a clear, standardized process for evaluation, thereby promoting transparency and accountability between the parties.

PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION
Section 1 General Provisions. The District shall provide for the evaluation of all unit members using one of the following formats: (1) Formal Conference evaluation or (2) Self-Assessment evaluation. Probationary unit members shall be evaluated every year using the Formal Conference format. Unit members with permanent status who do not qualify under Education Code 44664(a)(3) shall be evaluated every other year using the Formal Conference format or the Self-Assessment format if Article VIII, Section 6 is applicable. Unit members who qualify under Education Code 44664(a)(3), who have permanent status, who have been employed at least 10 years with the school district, whose previous evaluation rated the unit member as meeting standards, and with the approval of the Principal and the certificated employee, may be evaluated every third school year using the Formal Conference format or the Self-Assessment format according to Section 6 of this Article. The length of the evaluation cycle for these unit members will be communicated in the final evaluation document of the prior cycle. However, the certificated employee or the Principal may withdraw approval to the every third school year evaluation cycle. If the Principal withdraws approval, the certificated member will be notified of the change in writing thirty calendar days prior to the end of the school year. Such notification will also include specification of the year in which they will next be evaluated.
