Teaching quality is the most significant in-school factor affecting student outcomes
Students with a highly effective teacher learn twice as much as students with a less effective teacher

Lyndall has a role to play in coordinating the professional
learning program for her team. She has been made aware via her Twitter
feed of resources to support implementing the Standards on the
AITSL website.
Performance Management and Feedback
Lyndall is working with the leadership team implementing the
performance management framework within the school.
Having found the resources page on the AITSL website she is keen to
further explore what material is available.
Appraisal, feedback and professional
learning are powerful drivers of
improvement
When done well teachers view appraisal
and feedback positively and see it as
fair and helpful
BUT ...
63% of teachers believe that appraisals are done purely to meet administrative requirements
61% of teachers believe that the review of teachers’ work has little impact on classroom teaching
OECD Reviews of evaluation and assessment in education: Australia, 2009
99.8% of teachers had a satisfactory performance review, yet principals estimated 30% were underperformers
Grattan Institute (Better Teacher Appraisal and Feedback): Australia, 2011

Lyndall is continually improving and developing professionally and
is looking towards career progression. She is thinking about pursuing certification at the Highly
