Dear Colleagues,
The Mid-Year Check-In is an important part of the ACE Performance Management process and an intentional opportunity to pause, evaluate, and revise your goals and development plan as priorities continue to evolve.
As the year progresses, this check-in creates a space to realign expectations, recognize all that you’ve accomplished since September, and focus your efforts on finishing the academic year strong.

Goals as a Reflection of Your Work and Impact
|
While goal-setting begins in the fall, we recognize that our work is dynamic and that many contributions take shape as the year unfolds. Colleagues across the College continue to advance TC’s mission through evolving responsibilities, projects, and collaborations. Capturing goals in the ACE system is less about meeting a date and more about focusing on what gets done:
- The contributions you are making day to day
- How your work supports TC’s mission and strategic priorities
- How your goals connect to your skills, interests, and professional development
|
|
|
|
Clear goals help make your impact visible and create a shared reference point for meaningful conversations with your manager about performance, growth, and future opportunities.

Preparing for Your Mid-Year Conversation
|
|
As you prepare for your Mid-Year Check-In, consider:
- Are my goals still relevant given current priorities?
- What progress have I made, and what challenges have emerged?
- Do my goals need to shift to reflect evolving responsibilities?
- What support or resources would help me continue to grow?
