Performance Analysis
Artifact type: Performance Analysis report
Role: I was the sole evaluator for the performance evaluation at Annapolis Middle School, Annapolis, MD.
Artifact Description: This report was used to evaluate the effectiveness of teachers in the arrival of students and maintaining morning routines. Prior to completing the Performance Analysis, there was a gap in which student expectations and performance of morning routines were not being completed and in turn, resulted in higher behavioral problems.
Reflection: This was a very effective exercise to complete as evaluating a performance is key in determining the proper solution for closing the gap in a performance issue. During the exercise, I observed the morning routine of teachers during the arrival of students and their success in completing their morning routine. During the evaluation, there were key items to be identified:
-
What is the role of the teacher?
-
What is the student expectation when arriving to school.
-
Where there items that should be completed that weren't being completed by teachers? If so, why weren't they?
-
What situations were happening that increase student behavioral issues and how were they handled.
-
If behavior issues arose, how were they handled by Principals/Supervisors if sent to the office?
Strengths: The report was a wonderful tool to use in completing the observation and evaluation of both student and teacher performance. It is a valuable tool that can be utilized in a multitude of situations, industries, and executive levels.
Weaknesses: This particular report was not well received due to administration lack of interest in the observation. Of the four administrators notified of the project, only 1 reviewed the materials to be used in increasing positive behavior and a stable morning routine in their grade level.
