Performance Appraisal

The Defense Performance Management and Appraisal Program (DPMAP) runs from May 1 through April 30.  You will need to develop, review, and sign your Performance Appraisal Plan with your supervisor within 30 days of your Appointment Effective Date.  Additionally, there are three formal documented face-to-face discussions with your supervisor that involve the performance plan: the initial performance plan meeting, one progress review, and a final performance appraisal. Additional performance discussions with your supervisor are suggested throughout the appraisal cycle if you have questions about your performance.

The DoD Performance Appraisal System, Defense Performance Management and Appraisal Program (DPMAP), guides the performance evaluation of most employees at the Department of Defense Education Activity. 

DPMAP is designed to help foster a cultural change that encourages employee engagement, on-going communication, on-going employee recognition, and accountability.

All employees and supervisors with computer access are required to use MyPerformance when creating, reviewing, or approving performance plans; documenting modifications to performance plans; documenting progress reviews; documenting employee input on his or her individual performance; and documenting performance ratings and assessments. You should develop, review, and sign your Performance Appraisal with your supervisor no less than 30 days after your Appointment Effective Date. This is completed through MyBIZ.

Employees are encouraged to play an active role in their performance plans. The performance process is a joint collaboration between employee and supervisor. Communication is key.

DoDEA’s rating cycle is different than most DoD organizations, and runs from May 1 – April 30 of the following year.

You can access the MyPerformance DPMAP Employee User Guide at DoDEA Intranet

Progress Reviews - At least one face-to-face progress review is required. Normally, this is done midway through the rating cycle/school year. Your supervisor is required to document the date that this meeting took place in the online MyPerformance appraisal tool. Once that is completed you will be required to log into MyBIZ to acknowledge the progress review.
