WORKSHOP SUMMARY
1. Teacher performance and student learning
What the evidence indicates
2. The value of goal based performance development
3. Creating the conditions for optimal goal based performance development
Shared vision, values and purpose
Integrity, authenticity and trust
Standards referenced
Development focussed,
Collegial support
4. Delivering best practice goal based performance development
Clear, compelling and strategically aligned
Growth oriented, high value and solutions, focussed
Consultative, self-directed and self-monitored
Objective, informed and evidence based
Personalised, purposeful and practical
Procedural and iterative, but may be of a non-linear nature
Appropriately resourced
5. Goal setting
Adopt a Growth Mindset
Identify areas for performance development that are evidence based
Strategically align performance development needs
Refine the focus for development
Create aspirational goals
Personalise the goals
Visualise the attainment of the goal
Identify options and strategies
Prioritise the options
Create the SMART goals
Plan and resource
Record and monitor
Be accountable
Refine and clarify over time
Recognise and celebrate achievement
6. Strategic planning
Begin with the end in mind
Alignment
Keep it simple
One step at a time
Set milestones
Resource
Monitor
Reflect
Review
Recognise and celebrate achievement
7. Resourcing
Strategic
Framed
Negotiated
Research informed and evidence based
Accessible
8. Evidence management
Align the collection of evidence with your goal (and the AITSL Standards where required)
Ensure objectivity, authenticity and validity
Time and cost effective
Collect more than one piece of evidence
Collect evidence from more than one source
Collect evidence on an ongoing basis over time
Analyse and interrogate and evaluate the evidence - What does it tell you?
What other types of evidence do you need to inform development of practice?
9. Annotation of evidence
Interprets the evidence in terms of progress toward achieving a performance development goal or demonstrating a standard
Identifies how the evidence demonstrates the development of practice
Demonstrates how the practice being evidenced has improved student learning
Identifies the role of colleagues in promoting the development of practice
Evidence can be also annotated by a supervisor, coach or mentor to provide feedback and support for developing practice.
Observations of practice can be annotated by an observer to identify how the practice indicates goal achievement or the demonstration of a standard. These observations can then be reflected upon by the practitioner, who may provide further annotations.
10. Feedback
Be strategic
Frame requests for feedback
Be open
Be grateful
Be objective
Be considered
Qualify feedback
Act upon the feedback where appropriate
Document feedback and any reflections upon the feedback
