Appraisal of principals and senior leaders
Engage in a professional relationship focused on personal growth and organisational improvement.
Why work with an external appraiser
As educational leaders, you need an outside view on your practice. That way, you can see how effectively you are leading your kura or school and what to focus on next.
What might your appraisal include
Our appraisal will:
respect the unique context of the kura or school
honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi
identify and advance goals that support the principal or senior leader’s individual development needs and school strategic direction
be formative and learning-focused
affirm, critique and challenge evidence, thinking and practice
identify personal professional goals for the following year
assure the board of trustees that the principal or senior leader is focused on improving their own practice and advancing the school’s strategic goals.
How we work with you
The appraisal for each principal or senior leader will be designed according to the needs of the school leader and their school.
Appraisal packages:
These packages are a starting point. They can be tailored to suit the needs of the kura/school context.
