Performance and Development for Education Support Class Employees

2025 Statement of Expectation for Education Support

Education Support (ES) employees can again choose to undertake either the Statement of Expectation (SoE) or the standard Performance and Development Plan (PDP) process to meet performance and development requirements. Education Support employees selecting the SoE process are not required to complete any routine documentation or monitoring in eduPay.

In 2025, the SoE is aligned to the Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) and the department’s values.

Statement of Expectation for ES employees

The expectation is that ES employees will:

  • contribute to the AIP as appropriate to their role and settings
  • act with integrity and in accordance with the department’s values.External Link

At the start of the cycle

  • ES employees indicate to their principal or reviewer whether they will undertake the 2025 SoE or the standard PDP process, at any time prior to 30 April 2025
  • ES employees discuss with their principal or reviewer how they will contribute to the implementation of their school’s AIP together with their professional development/career goals and aspirations.

Throughout the year

  • ES employees and their principal or reviewer meet regularly throughout the year. Where there is a concern that an ES employee is not making an appropriate contribution to meet the SoE, this concern should be raised by the principal or reviewer at the time the concern becomes apparent, and provided in writing along with proposed improvement supports.

At the end of the cycle

  • At the end of semester 2, ES employees, with their principal or reviewer, will reflect on and be acknowledged for their learning, growth and contribution to the AIP
  • It is assumed that ES employees who opt-in to this process will meet the SoE, in which case no action is required in eduPay.
