This step will help you to decide how effective you are as an individual and suggest areas for CPD or personal development
Self-assessment
The assessors themselves also need to undertake a form of self-assessment, as well as act upon any appraisal that has been made about their performances. To help the individual it may be beneficial to draw up a grid that will allow line managers to comment on performance, as well as give the individual a framework within which to work and one that will aid self-assessment.
Such a grid may look something like this:
| Criteria | Evidence | Agree | Disagree |
| 1. Outcomes | |||
| I set assessment objectives and put them in a timeframe | |||
| I set personal development goals | |||
| I complete a portfolio of development activities | |||
| 2. Performance Indicators | |||
| I take responsibility for meeting assessment deadlines within the department | |||
| I discharge all administrative responsibilities to deadline | |||
| I act upon any feedback given by my line manager, following a moderation meeting | |||
| I undertake professional development in assessment | |||
| 3. Competencies | |||
| I maintain my professional knowledge | |||
| I set priorities for my work | |||
| I manage my time effectively | |||
| I improve my ICT skills | |||
| I keep abreast of subject knowledge | |||
| I understand controlled condition procedures | |||
| I am capable of assessing to a national standard in my subject |
