St Joseph's School
At St Joseph's School, teachers participate in an annual professional growth cycle (PGC) to assess how they are meeting the Standards for the Teaching Profession | Ngā Paerewa mō te Umanga Whakaakoranga (the Standards). The principal facilitates a shared understanding of the Standards and ensures that teachers have the opportunity to discuss and receive feedback on their teaching practice. The PGC is designed to support teachers to better understand the relationship between their teaching practice and outcomes for students.
The principal is responsible for designing and implementing an annual PGC for teachers, which may include:
At St Joseph's School, the PGC process aligns with the special character of the school.
At the end of an annual cycle, the principal confirms that teachers have participated in the PGC and provides a statement to each teacher about whether they meet the Standards. If the principal determines that a teacher does not currently meet the Standards, the principal develops a plan in consultation with the teacher to address these concerns. If this does not resolve the concern, the principal may take further action to notify the teacher of any corrective action required. See Performance Management.
The PGC process meets privacy and records retention requirements. See Privacy Policy and School Records Retention and Disposal.
