The framework structure in Strive enables professional standards to be associated with professional goals, evaluation document questions, and professional development courses.

Strive management allows multiple frameworks to be created and associated with the different appraisee types within a district. By tagging goals, questions and courses with different professional standards, an appraiser will be able to analyze data down to the sub-standard component and provide the proper coaching and support for individual employee growth.

Does every appraisal type need a framework?
- While our system can handle as many frameworks as you may wish to use, it is recommended you only create frameworks for appraisee types that need to show growth over the course of an evaluation year. If a particular appraisee type is only evaluated one time in the year, then that appraisee type may not need a framework.
