The principal conducts a self-evaluation, reflecting on their performance and compiling supporting evidence throughout the year while the evaluator does the same.

3. Throughout the year, continue building your self-review by assessing each individual competency and annual goal

Step 2.b: Principal Reviewer's Evaluation

The evaluator independently assesses the principal, either from a blank template or by referencing the principal’s self-assessment, while both parties conduct their evaluations simultaneously.

• No action is needed from the principal during this step

Step 3: Principal's Consolidated Evaluation 

SuperEval automatically combines evaluations from the evaluator and principal into a single consolidated document with the principal’s self-assessment, while allowing the evaluator to make necessary changes to the final evaluation.

• No action is needed from the principal during this step
