David Clayton’s passion for professional development is infectious.
CEO of Consilium Academies in the North of England, Mr Clayton and his team believe that too much time is spent in schools forensically plotting appraisal targets into online software programmes without any developmental discussion having taken place.
He told me: “We wanted to move away from this. Appraisals should be about every teacher and support staff member getting the opportunity to take ownership of their development and considering why they entered the profession.
“It should be about them considering what steps they need to take to develop in their roles and working with managers and mentors to achieve this. It’s about an investment in people, and this requires a dialogue.”
