Evaluation System for Contracted Staff

Welcome. Here you will find information to support your participation in the Grant Wood AEA Evaluation System for Contracted Staff. This system was introduced in 2004-05 to provide clear performance expectations, to increase professional learning, and to increase student learning. Toward these ends, key components of the Evaluation System include standards of performance, professional development, and performance review.

This website is organized by the differentiated cycles that are part of the Evaluation System.

Induction Cycle: for staff new to GWAEA


Development Cycle - Annual Review: for staff with experience at GWAEA and in their Annual Review year


Development Cycle - Performance Review: for staff with experience at GWAEA and in their Performance Review year


Assistance Cycle:  for staff needing additional support to maintain or achieve an acceptable level of performance

The Evaluation System is outlined in a printed manual titled Evaluation System for Contracted Staff , which has been provided to each contracted staff member and includes hard copies of the information available here. For additional information or questions, please contact your evaluator.
