Observations by supervisors and other professionals are supportive of this reflection. All administrators may be observed formally and/or informally at any time. During the nonevaluation years, formal observations are not required. However, supervisors are expected to observe administrators in a manner that allows them to be knowl- edgeable of the administrator’s skills and professional growth needs. d. Recognizing that each staff member must constantly seek ways to determine strengths and opportunities for improvement, a program of professional feedback will be implemented by all unit members. This feedback will be obtained on a regular and frequent basis, and at least once every evaluation cycle. All feedback will be confidential and for the sole use of the unit member seeking the feedback. Unit members are encouraged to share the results of the feed- back and their plans with the individuals who have participated with them in the feedback process. Unit members are encouraged to utilize this feedback as they develop their Professional Development Plans (PDP).
