Introduction

The Full Evaluation includes a comprehensive, in-depth Self and Supervisor Assessment, followed by updating your Job Description and Development Initiatives.

The Self and Supervisor Assessment is a comprehensive discussion with your supervisor about your performance on the core duties and functions of your job, as well as performance on your goals, and achievement of your Development Initiatives. It is a complete and in-depth review of all aspects of your work at Highline. More importantly, it is an opportunity for you and your supervisor to discuss plans for the future: changes and challenges facing the college and department, areas for your development as a professional, and areas where your department can improve effectiveness.

The EAPAS process started with developing a Job Description and Development Initiatives in collaboration with your supervisor. That process was followed 18 months later with a Mid-term Review of your progress. The EAPAS cycle is completed with the Full Evaluation. This occurs 18 months after your Mid-term Review, or 36 months after you first started this EAPAS cycle.

The Full Evaluation is also the start of the next cycle in EAPAS. As you discuss your performance with your supervisor, consider changes and updates that need to be made to your Job Description and Development Initiatives. Some of these changes might be due to changes in the environment, the effects of accomplishing your goals, or perhaps new responsibilities that create new needs for professional development.

Keep all these activities in mind as you step through the process below.

Definitions and Format

The Self Assessment:

This is the first part of a formal evaluation of all aspects of your job at Highline, including Core Functions and Duties, Goals, and Development Initiatives. It is your opportunity to describe your successes to your supervisor and to identify Goals and Development Initiatives that have been completed during the period since you began this EAPAS cycle. It is also your chance to define challenges that you faced in performing your job, and to recommend Current Position Goals and Development Initiatives for the next EAPAS cycle.

It is documented on the form available on this web site. Answers can be expressed as short paragraphs, lists of bullets, or other format that effectively communicates the information. As this is a thorough assessment, it is expected that there will be a fair amount of detail in your comments. Categorically reviewing each Duty in your job description is not encouraged, as you should be looking broadly at your entire position. Call out specific duties as necessary to illustrate successes and areas where challenges occurred.

The Supervisor Assessment:

The Supervisor Assessment is your supervisor’s response to your self assessment. Your supervisor will offer support and agreement to your comments, and may point out areas where he/she has a different perspective on your assessment. This is also an opportunity for the supervisor to comment on things that were missing from your self-assessment, such as accomplishments which were important to them, but overlooked in your comments.

The Supervisor Assessment is written on the form available on the EAPAS web site. Responses to your comments may be as straightforward as "I agree wholeheartedly," but can also be expressed as short paragraphs, lists of bullets, or other format that effectively communicates the information. In discussions of different perspectives, future goals and Development Initiatives, there should be a fair amount of detail.
