The purpose of employee evaluation is to offer employees feedback and help them understand their strengths and weaknesses. Evaluations provide an opportunity for growth and assist in measuring job performance.
Many principals have expressed the need for a process to evaluate the performance of Before/After Childcare program staff.
Previously, there was no approved evaluation tool for B/A positions. We now have a standardized process for evaluating B/A program staff.

It does not take the place of and does not consider job performance for another role with the WCPSS.
For example: If a TA also works in the B/A program, that employee receives an evaluation as a TA, and a separate evaluation as a B/A Coordinator or Assistant.
