Publisher's Synopsis
This book aims to be a practical guide for senior staff in both primary and secondary schools who are responsible for implementing and managing a staff appraisal scheme. Guidance has been provided throughout to enable training to take place both in school or off site, which is in line with the book's aim of providing a useful supplement to the largely academic literature concerned with staff appraisal in the sphere of education. There is a companion volume of training materials available which complements the main thrust of the book and reinforces the view that training is an essential ingredient of the scheme. The pack provides a range of examples, simulations and exercises for use in interpersonal skills training and wider staff development.
