Performance Evaluations / CDT

The Performance Evaluation tool provides a structured method of reviewing performance goals and expectations, clarifying behavior expectations, setting development goals, and rating job performance.

Supervisors will utilize the Competency Development Tool (CDT) to assist in the measurement and documentation of Trainee and Probationary Child & Family Services Specialist (CFSS) Performance.  The Supervisor is required to complete a CDT prior to the end of the 6-month training period and then again immediately prior to the end of the first year of hire, (prior to the end of 6 months as CFSS probationary status.)  The Supervisor's documentation of Satisfactory Trainee/Probationary Specialist Performance in the CDT is the trigger for the promotion from Trainee to CFS Specialist status.
