THINGS TO REMEMBER
- Todd will be at the PAFPC conference in Seven Springs May 1-4.
- Prior to your end-of-year final evaluation meeting, you will need to complete the post-assessment section of Form A. You should have completed the pre-assessment in the fall. Please be prepared to discuss components where you scored yourself "Distinguished" on the post-assessment section. Feel free to share evidence/examples as well. This form, along with the others, will be discussed at your individual meeting. Please contact Todd with questions.
- If applicable, please be prepared to share your SLO data at your end-of-year final evaluation meeting. We will use this data to score the success of your SLO.
- We are starting to brainstorm ideas for Orientation Week this summer. If there is any training(s)/professional development you think would be beneficial for the department, please email Todd your suggestions. He is working on scheduling cultural competence and mental health training, per the discussion during the March staff meeting.
