Our Term 3
review of the Performance Management policy came at a timely moment in relation
to the Accord between the Ministry of Education, NZEI Te Riu Roa and PPTA Te
Wehengarua. A serious rethink of
performance appraisal is underway, with the legislation around performance
appraisal likely to change in 2020.
Many
schools questioned if it was worth updating our SchoolDocs Performance
Management policy and sub-policies until the government considerations are
complete, but in September the Teaching Council clarified its expectations
around the current minimum requirements for the issue or renewal of a
practicing certificate, and both the Teaching Council and the PPTA recommended
reviewing performance management now to remove unnecessary compliance and work.
