Professional Review and Development resources
These resources should be used by school teams alongside the PRD guidelines to develop your approach to PRD.
Roles and Responsibilities
We should all ensure we are familiar with our own roles and responsibilities for PRD to make certain that we all have high-quality, meaningful PRD experiences. PRD is not something ‘done to us’, and we have a collective responsibility to ensure that we prepare in advance and take the time to reflect on where we are in our professional journeys prior to our formal PRD discussion. Roles and responsibilities have been identified for the following groups:
- Reviewees
- Reviewers
- Senior Leadership Teams
- Local Authorities and Employers
- GTC Scotland
We have listed the roles and responsibilities you should be aware of in these documents:
- PRD roles and responsibilities – overview by role
- PRD roles and responsibilities – side-by-side table
Culture and Climate of Trust – Is your school ready for PRD?
A culture and climate of trust, where teachers feel nurtured, valued and empowered is core to the success of PRD. PRD requires teachers to talk openly and honestly about their professional learning. For this to be achievable teachers need to feel safe in doing so. They need to know that they have permission and space to make mistakes, and opportunities to take risks.
We have provided the resources below to help you to understand the importance of a culture and climate of trust for successful PRD.
