Description
Is appraisal improving practice — or merely producing paperwork?
Teacher appraisal often becomes dominated by generic objectives, evidence folders and end-of-year judgements.
This Coaching and Appraisal Done Well Masterclass offers a more purposeful alternative. It helps teachers and school and college leaders use appraisal as a structured process of professional inquiry, coaching and improvement.
The central framework is the 5-Minute Research Inquiry Appraisal Plan. It guides teachers through 13 connected stages, from identifying a professional priority to evaluating impact and sharing the learning with colleagues.
The approach is deliberately framed as:
A thought process, not a form-filling exercise.
What does the masterclass explore?
The presentation helps teachers and leaders:
- identify urgent and important professional priorities
- clarify definitions and challenge assumptions or bias
- narrow a broad concern into a manageable inquiry
- establish a realistic appraisal timeframe
- select an appropriate research approach
- design an open, focused research question
- plan samples, interventions and evidence collection
- consider ethical risks and safeguarding
- evaluate impact rather than activity
- share findings through coaching and CPD
