Appraisals
Measuring the immeasurable
Effective appraisal in the school setting
GMS consultant Larry Forbes, a highly experienced appraiser and appraisal coach/mentor shares a practical and practised approach to school-based appraisal.
This is essential reading for appraisers and highly recommended for all staff and board of trustee members in the context of viewing appraisal as a process done with people and not to people.
The information is offered in the knowledge that most schools now have performance management systems in place which meet compliance requirements. The intention is to offer suggestions aimed at moving beyond compliance to the application of best practice appraisal processes.
The content is intended to help you review and refine what is currently happening in your school in the context of an outside perspective.
