20. HEaTED’s Competency Assessment Toolkit for Technical Staff (CATTS) Added value

21. Received many requests for help with organisational and individual performance assessment In response to these requests, and a wider UK need, we have developed a new resource exclusively for HEaTED members Background

22. CATTS has been designed to change the way that the professional technicians in HE (and FE) explore performance It provides a benchmark for all professionals (regardless of specialism or discipline) of their current competencies, development areas, and future direction Background

23. Resource pack/Toolkit to help Managers assess current competency and plan for future demands and needs It requires a shift in thinking from the traditional annual appraisal process to more of a continuous review process which aims to deliver excellence through an ongoing conversation around performance, capability and capacity What is it?

24. Using CATTS Competency Assessment Toolkit for Technical Staff Addresses 5 key competency areas as Modules:

25. Using CATTS CATTS addresses 5 key competency areas as Modules Each Module has a set of Behavioural indicators

26. Using CATTS Within each behavioural indicator there are 5 levels of competency to be matched against: 1.Learner 2.Experimentalist 3.Practitioner 4.Specialist 5.Expert The aim is to progress through these levels

27. Successful implementation of CATTS will mean… Technical staff ensuring regular assessment of their own competency and professionalism and owning their own development. Line managers / reviewers engaging regularly with their reviewees to ensure a competent, proactive, professional workforce ready to respond to changing needs. Using CATTS
