Uniting PD and appraisal: A ‘middle path’ focused on teacher growth

Members Only

If both professional development and appraisal seek the same goal (teachers who become even better than they already are), why do schools have separate systems and processes for each? Is there a ‘middle path’ that could unite the two in a way that empowers teachers, does the heavy lifting for leaders, and decreases box-ticking busywork for all? In this webinar with Evidence Based Education’s Stuart Kime, we will answer these questions (spoiler alert: Stuart Kime thinks the answer is ‘Yes’). If you want some food for thought about connecting performance management and PD, this webinar is for you.
