Self-Assessment
A self-assessment is the evaluatee's own reflection on their practice against the evaluation rubric. It's a creator-managed evidence collection: the evaluatee owns it, works on it privately, and shares it with their evaluator when ready.
This page explains what a self-assessment is and how it works. For the step-by-step process, see How to Complete a Self-Assessment.
What It's For
A self-assessment is a reflection tool. The evaluatee reviews the rubric, considers where their practice stands, aligns supporting evidence, and — if the district allows — records self-scores. It helps frame the conversation with the evaluator early in the cycle.
Unlike observations and student growth, a self-assessment's evidence and any self-scores do not flow to the Summative Evaluation. It's shared with the evaluator for context, but it doesn't contribute to the final performance rating.
Creator-Managed Workflow
Self-assessments don't use Simple/Formal completion modes. The evaluatee manages the lifecycle directly:
| State | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Draft | The evaluatee is working on it; it's private to the evaluatee. |
| Shared | The evaluatee has shared it with the evaluator. It becomes read-only — but the evaluatee can Unlock it to make changes and then share again. |
Sharing is done from the Report tab. The evaluator can view a shared self-assessment but doesn't score or approve it.
What's in a Self-Assessment
| Tab | What's There |
|---|---|
| Setup | Title and basic setup |
| Evidence View | Reflect against the rubric, align evidence, and self-score (if your district allows self-assessment scoring) |
| Artifacts | Attach supporting documents as embedded artifacts |
| Report | Preview the self-assessment and share it with your evaluator when ready |
