This document is a kit for conducting a program of performance appraisal for first line supervisors (such as department chairpersons) in instructional departments in two-year colleges. It was developed for use in selected postsecondary technical institutes in Wisconsin, but could be used in nontechnical settings. The first three sections of the loose-leaf manual trace the development of the individual Staff Development Portfolio and provide background information through related literature about the need for appraisal and staff development. The fourth section of the manual is the Individual Staff Development Portfolio. It contains information on how to conduct the performance appraisal meeting, how to use the Individual Staff Development Portfolio, worksheets to conduct the performace appraisal, rating sheets describing various ratings that could be applied to an individual, and notes for inservice information for the evaluator of the first-line supervisor. The performance appraisal is based on management by objectives and behavior expectancy scales (BES). In the fifth section of the kit, terms are defined. Following next are appendixes containing examples of the use of management by objectives and behavior expectancy scales and a short summary of the development of the portfolio. (KC)
