Staff Performance Management & Professional Development
Background & Summary
Effective schools thrive on strong leadership, well-trained teachers, and a motivated workforce. Staff performance management and professional development are crucial for maintaining high educational standards, improving student outcomes, and ensuring continuous professional growth.
Many schools struggle with performance evaluation, targeted training, and staff retention, leading to inconsistent teaching quality and disengaged teams. Teachers often require ongoing professional development to stay up to date with the latest pedagogical strategies, technology, and curriculum changes. Without proper support, professional growth can stagnate, affecting both teaching quality and student success.
A structured performance management system provides teachers with clear expectations, regular feedback, and growth opportunities, fostering a culture of accountability and excellence. Investing in staff development not only improves teaching effectiveness but also enhances staff job satisfaction, confidence, and retention.
