Common use of Self-Evaluation By The Educator Clause in Contracts

Self-Evaluation By The Educator.  Immediately after the initial advocacy and training, each educator should evaluate her/himself using the same instrument that will be used for both Developmental Appraisal (DA) and Performance Measurement (PM). This enables the educator to become familiar with the instrument.  Educators also familiarise themselves with the Performance Standards, the criteria (what they are expected to do) as well as the levels of performance (how well they are expected to perform) in order to meet at least the minimum requirements for pay progression. This self evaluation forms part of both Developmental Appraisal (DA) and Performance Measurement (PM).  Since Performance Measurement (PM) will be used for determining pay and/or grade progression (notch increases) it must be used to evaluate the performance of educators within the period of a calendar/school year even though the award will only be made in the following year.  The emphasis on self-evaluation serves the following purposes:  The educator becomes familiar with the instrument  The educator is compelled to reflect critically on his/her own performance and to set own targets and timeframes for improvement… in short, the educator takes control of improvement and is able to identify priorities and monitor own progress.  Evaluation, through self-evaluation, becomes an ongoing process.  The educator is able to make inputs when the observation (for evaluation purposes) takes place and this process becomes more participatory.  The educator is able to measure progress and successes and build on these without becoming dependent on cyclical evaluations.
