Common use of Performance Agreement Clause in Contracts

Performance Agreement. 4.1.1 The Board shall put in place an annual performance agreement and carry out a review (appraisal) of the principal every year. Provided that, where a principal is newly appointed, it is expected that the Board and principal will put in place a performance agreement within two months of the appointment. The purposes of this process are to ensure the principal is aware of the Board’s objectives, to assist the principal’s professional learning and development and improve/acknowledge performance (i.e. it is about both accountability and development). The performance agreement shall reflect the school’s strategic and annual plans and the principal’s job description and shall take into account the professional standards, the preceding year’s review report (where relevant) and the Teaching Council criteria to be certified as a teacher. The performance agreement shall be in writing and a signed copy kept by both the Board and principal. 4.1.2 The performance agreement shall be developed in consultation with the principal and shall detail: objectives for that year including relevant professional standards; a professional learning and development plan for the principal to identify strategies and support (including any agreed resourcing) to enable the principal to carry out his/her responsibilities, meet the objectives and improve professional knowledge and performance; and the process and criteria, as per clause 4.2 below, by which the principal’s performance is to be reviewed for that year. 4.1.3 Every endeavour shall be made by the Board and principal to reach agreement on a performance agreement that is acceptable to both of them. Where this has not been achieved, the Board or the principal may seek professional advice to assist them. Where a performance agreement acceptable to both parties is not achieved, the decision of the Board in relation to the contents of the performance agreement for that year will be final. In such circumstances the principal shall have the right to attach written comments - including any professional advice obtained under clause 4.1.3(b) above and/or noting any objectives that he/she considers unreasonable - to the performance agreement which shall be considered during the review or other proceedings.
