Performance Management Policy Template Pack (Editable, K to 12)

A complete, fair and ready to adopt appraisal policy for your school

Writing a performance management policy from scratch takes weeks. This pack gives you a finished, professionally designed policy and every form you need to run it, written for international, British, American, IB and national schools from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Personalise it in about two hours, consult your staff and launch it within one term.

What is inside

• A 44-page editable policy (Word and PDF) with 15 policy sections: purpose and principles, scope, key terms, roles, the annual cycle, objective setting, lesson observation protocol, learning walks, the standards rubric, support plans and capability, appeals, confidentiality, professional learning, equality and well-being, and monitoring and review.
• A professional standards rubric of ten standards at four levels (Ineffective, Developing, Skilled, Accomplished), with guidance on reaching a fair overall judgement.
• Ten editable forms, also supplied as a fillable PDF with 352 fields: objective setting, lesson observation, learning walk, mid-year review, end-of-year appraisal statement, teacher self-evaluation, rubric, support plan, annual cycle timeline and appeal form.
• Three worked examples showing exactly what good looks like: a completed objective-setting form, observation record and support plan.
• Leader toolkit: an adoption checklist for international schools, a reviewer calibration guide on bias and best fit, and a first-term rollout guide in six steps.
• Start Here guide (one page) and your licence.

Who it is for

Principals, heads of school, deputy and assistant heads, HR leads and governors who need a clear, developmental and defensible appraisal process, whether you are writing your first policy, replacing an outdated one or preparing for accreditation.

Formats

One ZIP download: the policy in Word (.docx, fully editable) and PDF, the ten forms as a fillable PDF, a one-page Start Here PDF and Licence.txt. Every placeholder, such as [School Name], is highlighted so you can find and replace it in minutes.

Licence

Single-school licence: one school or one campus, with unlimited internal use. Edit, print and share it with your own staff as often as you need. No resale, redistribution or sharing outside the licensed school. For a group of schools, please buy one licence for each school or campus.

Important

This pack is a professional template, not legal advice. Please obtain local HR or legal approval before adopting the capability and appeals sections, and check every timescale against staff contracts and your local labour law.
