School Development Planning (SDP) element #18

This element is about the non teaching staff, a very important group in any school.

SDP element #18	Roles of non-teaching staff who support in the classrooms and the administrative clerical staff.
Aligned SE criterion	Criterion #7:  My school cares about me as a staff member and has reasonable expectations of me.
Current school documentation and situation	The roles of non-teaching staff members, clerical and classroom are  clearly documented and need no adjustment for 2016.
Development objectives for 2016	Induct 2 new teacher aides
Resources needed ·       people, ·       money ·       time ·       location ·       stationery ·       IT	The relevant teachers During term 1, 2016
Timeline to achieve the objective(s)	Term 1, 2016
Process for achieving the objectives	The mentor teachers carry out the inductions, taking feedback from the 2 new staff members on how they have been able to take on the culture of the school and how they have found their classroom roles.  The mentor teachers prepare  a written report on the induction.
Outcome(s) of the assessment of the attainment of the objective(s)	The 2 new staff report through their mentor teachers being satisfied with their induction. The Principal views the mentor teacher reports. The aligned SE criterion database shows that the 2 new non-teaching members of staff are effectively fulfilling their roles.

You will have noted the reference to feeding into the School Effectiveness database, in this case for SE Criterion #7.  This is a general principle to be applied as the School Development elements are activated.

There are further SDP elements to come.  Hope this is helpful to those who view this blog?


May the Force be with you!
