Q. Can you summarize the steps a school must follow to record ratings and complete required performance rating forms?A: On May 22nd schools must post ratings into the school list in the Employee Information System (EIS). These ratings must be approved in EIS no later than June 8th. In June detailed rating forms are prepared for all school
employees by the principal. Web forms are available for most employee groups on June 10 th. Other employees will receive paper forms. Once completed, the forms must be signed. Follow all guidelines pertaining to this process.
to this process. Q. Which employees are rated in EIS?A: All annualized instructional employees who appear on your schools EIS Table of Organization. This includes assistant
principals, supervisors, teachers, school based support team members (psychologists and social workers) guidance counselors and school secretaries. Per Diem substitutes are also rated in EIS.
Q. Do ATR (Absence Teacher Reserves) need to be rated?A: Yes, all ATR must be rated by the principal of the school where they have been temporarily assigned to provide absence coverage. In the event the ATR has served in more than one location during the school year, Principals should work collaboratively so that the rating may be issued by one school. Principals should contact the ISC Deputy/Partner or CFN Director if assistance is needed in identifying the ATRs’ work place or budgeted school location for the purpose of
entering into EIS.
Q. When do I use the web application forms?A:. Use the web form when rating annualized teachers, guidance counselors, school based support team members
(psychologists and social workers) and school secretaries. Q. Can I post information directly on the web form.A: Yes. Most sections can be directly updated by either school secretaries or principals. Some sections contain pre-
populated information which originates from the EIS system. Pre-populated information cannot be changed directly on the form. Q. What forms are used for the other employee groups?A: Use the paper traditional form "Annual Professional Performance Review of Pedagogical Supervisory Employee" for assistant principals and supervisory staff. This form is referred to as ABC since it has three sections. Use a blank teacher rating form for per diem teachers. Q. What form is used for principals? A: Principals are rated by their superintendents using the Principals Performance Review
(PPR) Tool.
RATINGS FAQS
23
Q. Why do both secretaries and principal require access to the EIS system.A: The secretary can post and auto-populate the school list. Principals have a different level of security which allows them to approve/finalize the list. The list is not considered an official submission until the principal has approved/finalized the list. Q. Where do school personnel go to for assistance with security?A: For Integrated Service Center (ISC) covered schools go to the ISC ASL group. For Children First Network (CFN) covered schools contact your CFN Data/IT Specialist. Contact information is provided in the Help Section of the Web Cast. Q. What is my ISC/CFN designation which is required on both EIS and Web applications.A: This is a numeric code which identifies which ISC or CFN the school is associated with. Have this number handy as it will be needed to post information to EIS or access your web application form. The designations are: Codes ISC Codes CFN 1- Manhattan 6 for Network 1 2- Bronx 7 for Network 2 3-Brooklyn (part) 8 for Network 3 4-Queens 9 for Network 4 5-Staten Island/Brooklyn
24
Q. I am accessing my school rating list in EIS and notice that some employee records are recoded
with an N or C code in the rating field. What does this mean?A: In certain cases an employee has a special status which is translated to a special rating
designation. Any employee who is classified as "reassigned" will be coded as N on the school list. N
employees cannot be rated directly on the list. If a principal wishes to rate the N coded employee they must contact the Office of Salary
Services. Any employee who is on a leave of absence will be coded as C. The principal may rate the
C coded employee in the EIS rating application. Q. If I have any questions about how to use EIS or the web applications who can I call?A: HR Connect has established a new direct hot line for secretaries. Call the hot line for
assistance with general usage inquiries.
Q. I may want to view the web cast again before the web ratings becomes available. Can I see it again?
A: Yes. The web cast is archived and available for viewing through June. It is encouraged that you
review the web rating section prior to accessing and updating the forms.
Q. I have a teacher on my school rating list whose performance I evaluated as unsatisfactory from
8/31/2008 to 2/1/2009. The teacher was subsequently directed to the “Reassignment Center”.
What are my obligations in rating this teacher? (*note: this teacher is on salary step 6A)A: Follow these steps: (1) using the teacher rating form, rate the teacher unsatisfactory.
Complete all required sections, obtain signatures, and attach appropriate documentation. Follow form
instructions. (2) Contact Ms. Genevieve Aloia, Office of Salary Services at [email protected] and
arrange for her to overlay the N code appearing on the EIS School Rating List with a U rating (unsatisfactory).Q. How will this teachers’ salary step be effected now that their rating code was changed
from an N to U?A: The teacher’s salary step of 6A will be frozen effective September 15th as a result of the U
rating.
