[Plsgs] Additional Reminder

[Armendariz, Amanda - (amandao)]

Hello SPLS Grads,

My apologies for another email. I want to clarify that in addition to your annual progress report, evaluations are also due. This is in addition to your progress form. I have also sent a reminder to the faculty about this process as well.

End of Term Evaluations
The University of Arizona requires that each person occupying a Graduate Assistantship/Associateship in Teaching (GAT), Research (GAR) or Outreach/Other (GAO) position must receive a written performance evaluation from their faculty supervisor at the end of each term of hire, regardless of the specific duties.
The end of the term evaluation is intended to be a tool for both the student and the department to monitor and facilitate teaching/research improvements and to assist with the GA's professional development. The Graduate College has designed a Career Conversations form that emulates the one used for other University employees
(TA Conversations(link is external)<https://arizona.box.com/v/grad-ta-conversation>, RA Conversations(link is external)<https://arizona.box.com/v/grad-ga-conversation>, and OA Conversations(link is external)<https://arizona.box.com/v/grad-oa-conversation>).

The conversation should follow the UA Human Resources (HR) example as shown in the video overview(link is external)<https://hr.arizona.edu/career-conversations#Video>

The GA conversation starts with the GA and invites them first to think about their goals, achievements, and plans for improvement. Supervisors, respond to the GA's self-reflections by adding their own observations and feedback regarding performance.

I hope this helps.


Sincerely,
