Summer 2012 functionality ObjectivesObservations CPD Reviews The following screen shots are work in progress. The final screens will look different but the functionality will remain the same.

ssss Add CPD activity for Anita Abel The opportunity to upload any evidence to the CPD - e.g. a certificate The ability to link any CPD to a current objective.

Any CPD linked to the objective will appear here Once saved the form becomes read only to the member of staff, who can then use this area to upload any evidence throughout the appraisal period toward his/her objective. You can map objectives back to a ‘School Objective’ and a ‘Professional Standard’ (defined in the setups area). The ‘Success Criteria ‘is what success will look like to that individual. This can also include any CPD they should be involved in. During the review the line manager or appraiser can go through all the evidence and make an informed decision on the achievement of that objective- achieved, partially achieved or not achieved.

Overview of the Summer 2012 release ObjectivesObservations CPD Reviews

A report like this can help identify those who have not been observed or those who require a follow up observation due to a poor recent observation.

Permissions and security These new permission groups will read off the line management tree so that you only access records that you are associated to. In this example: Tom David will have ‘line manager’ access rights to Anita Abell’s record, and Adrian Blacker will have appraiser access rights to Anita Abell’s record. Where the line manager does not conduct the appraisals, schools can define a different appraiser OR multiple appraisers for each individual. Schools can customise each of these permissions and define what they want each group to view and edit on the P7 record.
