The first step of your annual review

The EagleWings Annual Performance Self-Assessment is a structured review you complete at the end of each school year. It documents how you see your own performance across twelve competency areas — from attendance and timesheet compliance to scope of practice and behavior management — and gives you space to write about your strengths, areas you want to improve, goals for next year, and any support you need from EagleWings, BCPS, or your school team.

The self-assessment is required under Section 22 of the Employee Handbook and is the first formal step in the annual performance review process. After you submit it, your EagleWings supervisor — typically the Clinical Supervisor or the HR/Staffing Coordinator — will use your responses alongside objective data (Homebase attendance records, Gusto compliance, BCPS feedback, training completion, incident reports) to conduct your live performance review and determine your status for SY 2026–2027.

You'll be evaluated for one of three outcomes: Permanent Aide (return to your school and student), Substitute Aide (active on the substitute roster for as-needed assignments), or Terminated. The status determination is made by EagleWings based on the full review and is final, per the Reasonable Assurance of Employment letter dated 05/15/2026.

Your voice in your own review

The self-assessment isn't just paperwork. It shapes how your supervisor sees your year, surfaces challenges that might not be visible from attendance data alone, and ensures your perspective is on the record before any decisions are made.

🎯

It's required for return eligibility

EagleWings will not submit your name to North Avenue for SY 2026–2027 placement until your self-assessment is complete and signed. This is a non-negotiable annual re-credentialing requirement per Handbook §22.

🗣️

It gives you a voice

Your self-ratings, written reflections, and stated goals are part of your official record. They give context to your supervisor that attendance logs and incident reports alone can't provide — your perspective on a hard year, a difficult student, or a strength you want recognized.

📈

It documents your growth

The self-assessment becomes a permanent part of your employee file. Over multiple school years it creates a record of your professional development, the goals you set, the support you requested, and the progress you made.

🤝

It surfaces support you need

If something has been hard this year — a student behavior pattern you weren't equipped for, a school dynamic that made your job harder, training you'd benefit from — the self-assessment is the place to surface it so EagleWings can respond.

🛡️

It protects the students you support

Honest self-evaluation across the team strengthens EagleWings' ability to maintain high-quality, Joint Commission-accredited care for the IEP students BCPS entrusts to us. Your reflection contributes to that broader quality of care.

📄

It's part of BCPS compliance

EagleWings' contract with BCPS (IFB-24031) requires documented annual performance evaluation for every aide. Completing your self-assessment supports the compliance EagleWings owes to its school district client.

Three possible outcomes for SY 2026–2027

Per the Reasonable Assurance of Employment letter dated 05/15/2026, every IEP Aide's status determination falls into one of three categories. Your supervisor decides based on the full review, including your self-assessment, attendance records, BCPS feedback, and policy compliance.

✓ Best outcome

Permanent Aide

You return to your current school and student as a full-time IEP Aide for SY 2026–2027 (subject to your student returning to the same school). Full-time hours, same assignment, continuity for the student.

~ Active roster

Substitute Aide

You remain on the active EagleWings roster as a substitute aide and may be called for assignments on an as-needed basis. Does not guarantee daily or consistent work but keeps you employed and eligible for permanent placement when one opens.

Questions, answered

Common questions from EagleWings IEP Aides about the annual self-assessment process.

What is the EagleWings annual performance self-assessment?

It is a required annual evaluation that every IEP Aide employed by Eaglewings Educational Service LLC and assigned to Baltimore City Public Schools must complete at the end of each school year. The self-assessment is part of the formal performance review process described in Section 22 of the Employee Handbook and forms the first step of the annual review with your EagleWings supervisor.

Who needs to complete this self-assessment?

Every IEP Aide who worked for EagleWings Educational Service LLC at any Baltimore City Public School during the 2025–2026 school year must complete it. This includes Therapeutic Behavior Aides (TBA), Non-Therapeutic Aides (TAS), and Classroom Support Aides — regardless of whether you plan to return for SY 2026–2027.

Why is this self-assessment important?

Completing the self-assessment is required for SY 2026–2027 return eligibility per Handbook §22 and the Reasonable Assurance of Employment letter dated 05/15/2026. Beyond the requirement, the self-assessment gives you a voice in the review, documents your accomplishments, surfaces support needs, and helps your supervisor understand how you see your work.

How long does it take to complete?

Most aides finish in 20 to 30 minutes when done thoughtfully. Your progress is automatically saved as you go, so you can leave and return without losing your work.

When is the self-assessment due?

Complete it before the end of SY 2025–2026 (June 16, 2026). EagleWings will not submit your name to North Avenue for SY 2026–2027 placement until the self-assessment is complete and signed.

What happens after I submit?

You receive a confirmation reference number. Your EagleWings supervisor (typically the Clinical Supervisor or HR/Staffing Coordinator) will schedule a live review conversation. After that review, the supervisor finalizes your status for SY 2026–2027 — Permanent Aide, Substitute Aide, or Terminated — based on the full review including attendance records, BCPS feedback, and policy compliance during the school year.

What competencies will I be evaluated on?

Twelve competencies aligned to the Employee Handbook: Attendance & Punctuality, Call-Out & Absence Notification, Homebase & Timesheet Compliance, Dress Code & Professional Appearance, Professional Conduct & Boundaries, FERPA & Student Confidentiality, Parent Communication Compliance, Mobile Device Policy, IEP & BIP Implementation, Behavior Management & Scope of Practice, CPI Currency (TBA only), and Gusto Compliance & Communication with EagleWings.

What if I do not plan to return for SY 2026–2027?

You should still complete the self-assessment. It serves as your end-of-year record and supports any employment verification you may need later. In the Intent to Return section, select "No — not returning" and optionally share why.

Is my self-assessment confidential?

Yes. Your responses are visible only to authorized EagleWings administrators (HR and Clinical Supervisor). The self-assessment is part of your confidential employee file and is not shared with BCPS staff, parents, students, or other aides.

Will I get a copy for my records?

Yes. After submission you receive a confirmation reference number you can save. Once the full review is finalized, EagleWings issues you a signed copy of the complete review document to acknowledge in Gusto per Handbook §6.3.

Can I complete this on my phone?

Yes. The form is mobile-friendly. You can complete it on a phone, tablet, or computer. Progress saves automatically as you go, so you can start on your phone during a break and finish later on your laptop.

What if I have questions while filling out the form?
