Performance reviews & teacher appraisal aligned to your school’s culture
BlueSky Education allows you to design a tailored approach to teacher appraisal that aligns with the culture of your organisation, whether your school uses annual performance reviews or has moved away from performance related pay and adopted a continuous professional dialogue throughout the cycle. Our flexible platform allows school staff to align their own professional objectives to school and trust priorities and encourages an open and continuous dialogue with their coach or manager.

The developmental approach to teacher appraisal
Many schools are revising their approach to performance management. Our research considers the changes that are happening and how professional learning is moving centre stage to teacher appraisal.
In our report, ‘The Emerging Revolution’, we examine the changing processes in performance management and teacher appraisal. Alongside a greater focus on professional learning, individual development is becoming the top priority in conversations about performance and, therefore, one of the most important drivers for school improvement.
A universal tool for appraisal and professional development in schools
All school staff – from teachers and support staff to executive leaders and school business leaders, as well as the operations team – can access their own personal portfolio in our secure online platform, giving everyone ownership of their professional development and progression.
