**Additional Areas of Evaluation

  1. Leadership – this includes within the Clinical Services Team, on a special project, in a particular school, etc.
  2. Initiative – this includes the push to start new ways to address needs identified through the clinician’s work
  3. Problem Solving – this includes discretion and judgment and the demonstrated capacity to work through complex situations
  4. Adaptability – this includes flexibility to make needed adjustments in the larger picture and in immediate circumstances
  5. Communication – this is in addition to the Communication section on the Feedback Form and includes the clinician’s understanding and active contribution towards building an open system
  6. Teamwork – this includes the multiple opportunities to work collaboratively
  7. Professionalism – this includes the clinician’s assessment of meeting the highest standards of their discipline in the work they do in BLSD

The purpose of these Additional Areas of Evaluation is to provide a more thorough, accurate and consistent picture of clinician’s work. While the feedback from schools certainly provides an important perspective on clinician’s work, it does not provide a complete picture.

 

At the first formal evaluation meeting, the Assistant Superintendent and the clinician will review the Additional Areas and collaboratively identify which of these areas will and will not be included in their evaluation.

 

Clinicians will also identify who might provide feedback about these areas, what kind of feedback they would be looking for, and how the feedback would be collected. The Assistant Superintendent would support the clinician in this process. The feedback from these areas would be part of the ongoing evaluation conversations during the evaluation year.
