An overview of a Personnel Evaluation and Support system is presented. Because it is critical for staff members to know what is expected of them and to know upon what basis they are being evaluated, the formulated Components of Instructions (COI) are disseminated and reviewed with the staff. This process allows staff to know what is expected of them, teaches them how to be effective, and focuses upon teaching and learning. COI represent the best thinking on what goes into any teaching/learning situation and include: (1) motivational components, (2) goal/objective setting components, (3) instructional components, (4) monitoring of student performance, and (5) evaluation of student performance. An observation is completed based on the COI and the parameters set forth in the aspects of the job description delineated by the evaluator as priority areas of emphasis within the context of the Superintendent's Priorities. Through the Staff Development Program each COI is addressed in great detail in small group sessions with staff members whose observations/evaluations indicate an area/areas in need of growth. The appendices include: an Observation Form, an Evaluation Form, and a sample Competency-Based Staff Development Program. (PN)
