A GUIDE FOR IMPLEMENTING THE SELF-EVALUATION PRINCIPLES OF THE MANUAL OF CORRECTIONAL STANDARDS.
Abstract
A SELF-APPRAISAL METHOD IS USED IN QUESTIONNAIRE FORM AT THE ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL BECAUSE THE RATINGS ARE THE PRODUCT OF THOSE DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH THE PROCESS AND WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE PROGRAM, PROCEDURAL AND PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS. PERSONNEL SERVING AS EVALUATORS RECEIVE A TRAINING EXPERIENCE BY GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS OF COMPARING THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH THAT OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL COLLEAGUES AS DESCRIBED IN THE STANDARDS.
