Quick Demo: Add Professional Goals
Important: Before you begin using the enhanced professional goal feature, check your Evaluations tab to access the evaluation process outlined by your administrators. Use the (+) button next to the evaluation steps needed to access the goal setting documents required. If a form is accessed, use that form to complete the steps your district has determined for your evaluation type.
Add A Professional Goal:
1. Click the Evaluations tab to access your evaluation process.
2. Click the (+) button in your evaluation process and the Add New Goal pop-up will appear.
3. A goal can also be created in the Goals tab and by clicking the (+) button to open the same Add New Goal pop-up window.
In the New Goal window:
- Enter your New Goal statement.
- Note: You can drag the bottom right of the text window to make this textbox larger if you need it.
- Add your Success Criteria.
- Note: Success Criteria is an optional part of Goal creation where professionals can focus their Action planning by defining what successful attainment of the Goal will look like. We encourage instructional leaders to coach their Appraisees to define attainable, measurable outcomes in the Success Criteria section.
- Select the Standards from the list provided
- Click the Add an Action button to add actions and dates for completing the specific actions. An Additional Action button appears after entering the initial action.
- Choose the Date for the new goal to be completed. Click on the date to get a calendar pop-up to more easily select a date.
- Click the Save button.
Once you save your Goal, it will appear in your Goals list. Goals created in either the Goals or Evaluations tab will appear in your goal list.
