Introduction

This policy sets out the requirement for education support class employees to develop a Performance and Development Plan (PDP).

  • The Performance and Development Guidelines are available under the Policy and Guidelines tab on this site.

Details

Under the Victorian Government Schools Agreement 2022External Link , employees are committed to performance and development processes that recognise and affirm high performance, address underperformance and value continuous high quality professional learning.

Employees must have an agreed PDP to cover the school year.

Education support employees must set four goals, comprising one for each of the three Domains of Education Support Practice (Knowledge, Practice, Engagement), in addition to one outcomes-focused goal about how education support employees are contributing to the School Strategic Plan or Annual Implementation Plan.

Salary progression is not automatic. Performance will be assessed annually against school priorities and Departmental criteria appropriate to the employee’s classification level and remuneration or salary range.

Employees who progress through their respective salary scales will be determined solely on their performance and development assessment.

The PDP Guidelines provide further detailed information to support employees to develop and reflect on their performance and development.
