Course Outline:
Appraisals are a pivotal moment in the school year — an opportunity for reflection, growth, and alignment. Whether you’re conducting the appraisal or on the receiving end, how you approach it can significantly impact performance, morale, and professional development.
This practical webinar is tailored specifically for boarding staff and aims to strengthen your understanding of the appraisal process. We’ll guide you through the principles of fair and constructive evaluation, while also exploring how to make the most of your own appraisal experience.
Learning outcomes:
- Recognise the value of appraisals as a tool for development, motivation, and team alignment
- Reflect on your own response to receiving feedback and how to engage with it positively
- Learn how to prepare thoroughly for appraisals — both as an appraiser and appraisee — to ensure a focused and productive conversation”
