The Performance Management Section works with school level, complex area and state level supervisors, administrators and other stakeholders to develop, implement, continually evaluate, and revise for on-going program improvement, a comprehensive employee performance system for all employees of the Department of Education.

What is Performance Management?

• Performance Management is the process of creating a work environment or setting in which people are enabled to perform to the best of their abilities.
  
• It also ensures that goals are consistently being met in an effective and efficient manner.
  
• Performance management is a whole work system that begins when a job is defined as needed and ends when an employee leaves our organization.

Why do Performance Evaluations?

• It sets the baseline for each employee to work towards an annual goal.
  
• Each and every employee deserves to have quality feedback on the job they are doing.
  
• When handled consistently, it can be a morale booster (really!)
  
  • For great employees, it provides them with positive acknowledgement and reinforcement of a job well done.
    
  • For those employees who are struggling with their job performance, it is a method to ensure that the employee's deficiency in meeting those duties is communicated and documented for both the evaluate-e and the evaluator.
    
• If you do one, it will ensure your ability as a manager to implement performance improvements of an employee if there is a deficiency.
  
• Big-picture wise, it helps you as a manager identify common areas of deficiency to plan and implement programmatic changes for improvement.
