resource data and specific scoring exceptions. Employees then have access to view their
overall evaluation, the three components' breakdown, and a detailed scoring report.
Non-Instructional Employees

Non-instructional employees are evaluated using the Non-Instructional Evaluation Electronic
Application, a tile found in the District Portal. This evaluation measures performance in areas of
job knowledge, self-motivation, self-management, adaptability to change, interpersonal
effectiveness, assignments, attendance, and punctuality. Once completed, the evaluation is
exported to the Human Resources Department where it becomes part of the employee's
personnel file.

Professional Development for Functional and Technical Specialists, End
Users, and Non-Instructional Employees
With the constant and rapid changes in technology, it is prudent that technical and functional
specialists acquire the training needed to be effective and efficient in their functions. As older
systems are replaced, training needs to be provided on the newer systems. Training should not
be a one-time occurrence but acquired progressively as skill sets are needed. Appropriate
user-based training ensures that technology is used effectively to improve business process
efficiencies. Additionally, technical training and high-level technical skills are required to support
and maintain technology to minimize downtime and increase performance. Through dedicated
technical support, specialists will be able to provide increased support to end-users.

The professional development strategies for functional and technical specialists include the
appropriate and timely technical support to achieve effective integration of educational
technology.

● Monitor, develop, and/or provide technology certification programs and continuing
professional development to support these positions to serve our stakeholders in the
best capacity.
● Continuously monitor, assess and modify professional development as new technologies
emerge.
● Professional development will ensure that the functional and technical specialists will
have the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that will enable them to support technology
applications, demonstrate the effective use of technology to end-users, and provide
professional development, mentoring, and basic technical assistance for others.
