  1. MAPA Toolkit: Making Your MAPA More Effective MAPA Task Group

  2. And I quote… “Leadership is not a magnetic personality - that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing people - that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to higher sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.” - Peter F. Drucker

Promotes professional growth Aligned to our Community Strategic Plan Vehicle for dialogue with supervisor YOUR plan, YOUR Objective 1-2 page document Short term (1-2 year) plan Addresses one area of CSP Data-driven (multiple data sources recommended) Written in SMART format

  13. The ILP…What it is not! A one-size fits all plan Designed to address multiple goals Expected to be lengthy or cumbersome Expected to last more than 1 or 2 cycles

  14. Activity Guiding Questions • What data will serve as the baseline? • What data will indicate success? • How and when are data collected? • Are there barriers to the successful completion of this objective? • Are there sufficient resources available? • Does the objective support an organizational or a strategic goal? • How does the successful completion of this objective influence staff, students or community? • Are there conflicting events that might not support success?

  15. Notable Quotable Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)

  16. Writing Effective Performance Appraisals Characteristics of Good Self-Assessments Focus on results, not tasks. Use the rubric to write to a specific performance level. Be clear, concise, and precise in writing.

  17. Writing Effective Performance Appraisals Tips for the Pre-Write Have your mid-year or previousperformance assessment handy while writing. Have any documentation of evidence available when writing. Start early; do not wait for the deadline. Use rubric as a reference.

USE DATA - Avoid slang, generalizations, and opinions. Use bulleted or short, direct statements…do not use flowery language. Use active, not passive voice.
