Introduction to the Site Performance Development
Plan (PDP) and Feedback Mechanism

• I propose to use the following framework to
  provide annual feedback to each site leader. The
  feedback is in effect a comment on leadership and
  the site learning improvement plan. Without a
  clear sense of direction built upon a sound
  values base making a difference to student
  learning outcomes is simply rhetoric.
• The improvement priorities in the PDP take into
  account the DECS Statement of Directions as well
  as the site learning plan priorities.
• The Annual Report strategic directions, Site
  Learning Plan priorities and your PDP improvement
  priorities are closely linked to each other and
  the District Support Learning Plan (DSLP).
• The DSLP is an instrument that identifies
  district priorities and describes District
  Support team commitment and actions in support of
  continuous improvement in sites.
• The SLP needs to be closely linked to the
  Resource Entitlement Statement.
• The annual report tells your community how
  successful you have been in achieving your goals.
• A projected outcome of effective planning is
  process improvement on a continuous basis. Site
  Learning Plans describe a change and improvement
  strategy.
• When I walk into your site things I look for
  include
• A realistic and achievable SLP
• A maximum of three site priorities.
• An Action Plan strategy to include best use of
  resources.
