APPRAISAL SYSTEM
ST. FRANCIS DE SALES COLLEGE not only believes in the holistic development of the students but
also in the comprehensive development of the faculty as well.
To provide them with an opportunity to evaluate themselves and improve on the fronts
where the faculty needs attention, the College has a performance Appraisal System in place
for both the teaching as well as non-teaching staff.
FOR THE TEACHING STAFF
For the teaching staff, there are various methods to ascertain their capabilities. As a first step,
feedback is taken from the students concerning the teaching skills and the support provided by the
staff in their learning process. The criteria on which the students evaluate the faculty include
preparation and quality of teaching, communication skills, remedial teaching skills, availability and
approachability, ability to inspire and motivate, respect and concern for students, ability to generate
and facilitate discussion during the class, referring to the library and reference materials to widen
the students' knowledge and the teacher's hold on the subject.
A self-appraisal form is filled by the staff which covers the areas like research, academical
accomplishments, SWOT analysis of the self and the result analysis of the subjects they handled.
Later their self-appraisal forms are evaluated by the HODs/Coordinators and the same is forwarded
to the Principal. The Principal also evaluates the staff based on their performances and a one-to-one
meeting is also called in to discuss the areas of improvement.
An overall analysis of all the analysis is consolidated and the faculty is rated for their performances
on various capacities. This rating is communicated to the staff and the staff use it as a reference to
improve their performances on various fronts. Thus, the evaluation system has a 360-degree
appraisal aiding in the holistic development of the staff.
FOR THE NON-TEACHING STAFF
For the non-teaching staff, the same set of procedures is in place as the teaching staff. First, the
students provide feedback on them. The criteria include punctuality and discipline, availability and
approachability, teamwork and leadership, professional demeanour, respect for students, speedy
service, technical and communication skills, documentation, office management, professionalism
and performance.
The non-teaching staff self-appraise themselves by filling in the forms which include their
professional skills and SWOT analysis of the self. The same is forwarded to the Principal. The
Principal evaluates and gives suggestions and observations to their development.
APPRAISAL MEETINGS
During the appraisal meetings, the teaching and non-teaching staff are also encouraged to give their
suggestions and observations on the functioning of the institution, which the Principal observes
carefully and discussions on the important points are made to improve the functioning of the
institution.
