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

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
