👁️‍🗨️ EVALUATEE: Observation/Evaluation (Connect)

Here, you will learn how to view and respond to an observation/evaluation.

An Evaluator completes the Observation/Evaluation form for the Evaluatees assigned.

   • Alternatively, tasks can be opened under "My Tasks" in the left navigation menu.
2. You will see several subpages (tabs) across the top of the Manage Evaluation Year page.

   • A blue asterisk icon designates a Focused criterion.

9. Once a criterion’s performance level (Distinguished, Proficient, Basic, Unsatisfactory, Not Observed) has been selected on the right, the indicator will show what has been selected in the middle. Only one Performance level can be selected per criterion or sub-criterion component.
10. Additionally, if any notes are added, the grey note icon to the right of the criterion will instead be blue.
