An on-demand event jointly hosted by the NAHT and Discovery Education.
In this webinar, Andrew Hammond talks to Kirsten Marriott, Headteacher at Hemingford Grey Primary, and her Deputy Headteacher, Danielle Jones. Together they look at the deliberate steps Kirsten and her team are taking to rethink professional development in their school. Topics covered will include: how to balance whole-school appraisal targets with bespoke goals that raise engagement and motivation; changing the culture of appraisal to one of ownership and personal investment; taking a deeper dive into the performance management process.
Kirsten recently purchased Pathway for her teachers and she will share her hopes and expectations for how the programme will support the professional and personal development of her staff.
