Step 1: Annual Goals and Competency Selection

In this initial step, the superintendent and school board work together to set annual goals tailored to district growth and improvement.

• The superintendent may ensure there is mutual agreement with the board on the goals and components, however no action is needed from the board members during this step

---

Step 2: Superintendent Self-Evaluation

The superintendent conducts a self-evaluation, reflecting on their performance and compiling supporting evidence throughout the year.

• No action needed from the board members during this step

Step 3: Board Review and Evaluation of the Superintendent

Now, the school board reviews the superintendent's self-evaluation and conducts an independent evaluation.
