This week we look at the new model of performance management and appraisals. We start by hearing from Susan Tranter, headteacher and author of Performance Management in Schools. She explains the theory behind the model and then we see it in practice during subsequent meetings. In the studio, presenter Peter Curran hosts a vigorous discussion on the issues surrounding performance management with guests Dr. Anne Jasman, Policy Advisor for the General Teaching Council, Mary Bousted, General Secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers and John Bangs from the National Union of Teachers. Lastly we find out what Laura Hewer, a primary CPD co-ordinator, will take away from a day out in Newham, talking to University of East London Organisational Psychology lecturer Donald Ridley about the potential demotivation of staff and then Rebekah Liyambo, Newham LA's CPD adviser, to find out what performance management is all about.
