- The guidance is specific when it refers to classroom observation providing monitoring information for a range of other necessary purposes, but the regulations are not. For example, if a teacher's objective is improving literacy, but if the school’s overall improvement plan relates to numeracy, can all classroom observation provide monitoring information for the SIP as well as performance management?
- Does planning for classroom observation at the planning meeting stage include setting dates?
- Can a school agree a Performance Management policy where the headteacher is responsible for all observations regardless of whether they are the reviewer?
- Headteachers are responsible for the quality of the Performance Management process in their school so can they undertake paired observations to assess the quality of other observers?
- Who can undertake classroom observation of teaching heads?
