This is where, as part of the process, a number of people who are in a range of different professional relationships to the principal are asked for their input within the process with a particular focus on the Senior Management Team and Board of Trustees.
Kiwi Leadership for Principals: Principals as Education Leaders should be incorporated in to the appraisal process.
The principal’s appraisal will usually be related to the goals set within the appropriate time period’s Development Plan.
It should be acknowledged in the process that the size and scope of Arahunga’s operations are such that individuals may not be directly managed by the Principal themselves.
