ROUNDTABLE - Evaluating Staff for Growth: Best Practices for School-Year & Summer Programs

Staff evaluations are key to professional growth, program improvement, and future hiring success—but what are the best strategies for making them efficient, meaningful, and actionable? Join this discussion to share your approach, swap tools, and learn from other programs on how to enhance staff evaluation processes for both school-year and summer teams. Do staff set goals at the beginning of the summer? How do you track progress? How do staff reflect on their own performance, and how do you incorporate their insights? Who conducts in-season observations, and how are evaluations documented? What evaluation methods, digital tools, or forms have been most effective for your program? What are some time-saving tricks to complete evaluations without sacrificing quality? Bring your best practices, challenges, and questions—walk away with new tools and strategies to implement right away!
