If you are Mr Cheng’s RO and see that he has the potential to become a Teacher Leader, how would you transit into a career development conversation and guide him to develop the competencies needed to advance his career?

As a school, what can we do differently in work review conversations?

-get a meeting room where it’s safe for public eyes and ears, to ensure confidentiality

RO triangulated feedback from JH’s EPMS form, fellow KPs, colleagues and students. As such, the conversation can be more holistic.

Environment:

Choose a timing that is not so tiring (eg after SCT).

Choose a place with little distractions (eg meeting room) to dedicate the time for JH.

Started off well by checking on well-being. Asked on "bandwidth", knowing her priorities and her preferences. Linked her up with who she should approach and sharing resources with her, so she feels supported. Non-judgmental, letting the conversation flows and listening to her actively. Actively rephrasing what the JH says, assuring her that she is listening.

1) Directing to JH to think of how their competencies (strengths) can be used to contribute in an area that they want to develop in/ serve in.

2) I think the conversation went well because both JH and RO thought about what the the JH's strengths/ competencies are and HOW the JH can be/ should be developed BEFORE the meeting.

1) can see the conversation is competency driven

2) RO was able to offer good suggestions when JH was unsure what to do. This requires knowledge of developmental opportunities within the specific context of the school

Given that you have competences such as ..., ... and ..., what kind of bigger roles do you think you might be suitable for/ you might want to challenge your self to do?

What kind of career goals would you like to achieve in ... years?

Through the conversation, elicit from JH the realisation that he has strengths in certain competencies that can impact other staff members on a longer term basis beyond the project - lead JH to be open to try out plans to leverage and develop his strengths to impact others.

RO to help the JH identify strengths and affirm his or her competencies.
Scaffold the JH to articulate what he or she would like to work on in order to demonstrate these strengths.
RO to offer avenues for contributions on a larger scale that will help develop the competencies and skills of other teachers.

Go through the competencies with Mr Cheng and list out the competencies a Teacher Leader should possess. He may have the required competencies to be a Teacher Leader and lead him to see that he has the potential to guide the younger teachers

to create a safe and comfortable space for your JHs to share openly:

- Enclosed room with privacy;

- Side-by-side is not a must, the most important is the word-of-choice/tone

sow_fun_yee — 2025-08-22 06:58:51 UTC

good to start with affirmation and light-hearted affirmation
Coaching approach(non-judgemental) is very nurturing
no need to justify the Reportee's own reflection
