Department of Education

• Flexible approach • How you work with the paperwork will

depend on the individual employee• Don’t set too many goals• Don’t expect to be perfect or cover

everything in the first cycle – focus on the priority areas

• Focus is setting goals for future, not providing feedback on past

• Assessment comes later
