General Policy Regarding Performance Reviews of Personnel
San Jacinto College District is committed to providing the highest quality service to its external constituent communities and among its internal departments.
All full-time personnel of the college shall be evaluated following the evaluation cycles appropriate to their appointments. At the discretion of supervisors, the evaluation cycle may be modified to respond to special circumstances.
The goals of the employee performance-review processes include:
- To raise the quality of instruction and the educational services to persons whom the college serves
- To ensure that the college's internal operations are of the highest quality and support the instructional programs
- To encourage the professional development of employees at all levels
- To determine the individual's future employment status with the college.
The evaluation, or performance-review, processes for all employees, regardless of appointment, will be both cooperative and on-going. All employees will be informed, in advance, of the criteria for evaluation, and all employees will participate in a discussion of completed evaluation instruments. When appropriate, data gathered through the college's research processes, e.g. student evaluation of instruction and system-wide surveys of various kinds, may be included in the information gathered during an evaluation cycle. References to these research data may also be included, as appropriate, in the performance-review. Originals of completed performance-review instruments and accompanying correspondence will be included in the employee's permanent personnel file.
Any employee who does not agree with the conclusions of his or her performance-review may provide his or her supervisor with a written statement before the end of the review cycle. This written statement will be attached to the evaluation instrument.
