Performance and Development

The following documentation is to be completed consistent with the requirements of the Performance and Development Framework for Principals, Executives and Teachers in NSW Public Schools (Jan 2015), which includes three phases: Plan,Implement and Review.
These processes are based on the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, the Australian Teacher Performance and Development Framework and the Australian Charter for the Professional Learning of Teachers and School Leaders.
PLAN – Performance and Development Plan (PDP)
Your professional goals should be informed by the school plan and the professional teaching standards.
  • In general, 2 - 3 professional goals should relate to the goals we are trying to achieve collectively as a stage and school. The school plan outlines our key priorities and desired outcomes. Ask yourself, what do I need to learn so that I can support the school in realising the intent of the plan.
  • The School Excellence Framework is also very useful because it describes the practices we wish to embed across the school. These practices are outlined in our school plan.
  • 1 - 2 of your goals relate to your development as a teacher and should be informed by the Australian Professional Teaching Standards. These goals relate to where your are in terms of your professional career and aspirations. If you are an aspiring school leader it may well be useful to also look at the Principal Standard. The Teacher Self Assessment Tool  is a very useful starting point for reflecting on your professional teaching practice.
