18. Other Criticism on OfSTED
Fitz-Gibbon (1996): Criticized on
Reliability and Validity
Eraut et.al(1997): Criticized on

applicable on Human Resource
Development)
Gleeson and Husbands(2003):
Address the same issue in their critique
of performance managements in school
21. Relation :people and motivation
People are Valued in their own right
and not simply because they can
deliver an appropriate level of

22. Gunter(2001)
Transformational Leadership
Build a unified common interest
between leaders and followers
He state as
“… kin to transformational leadership in
which people are inspired to achieved
an agreed version of a better future for
the organization and its clients “.
23. Leithwood et al’s(1999)
‘People-led’ motions of human recourse
management
“ this form of leadership assumes that
the central focus of leadership ought to
be the commitments and capacities of
organizational members.
Higher level of personal commitment to
organizational goals and greater
capacities for accomplishing those goal
are assumed to result in extra effort and
greater productivity”
24. Miller and Miller (2001)
Performance Management may be
likened to transactional leadership
“Achieving the required level of
performance, in terms of specific
outcomes is likely to lead to a reward
in terms of managerial approval and
,perhaps,. improved salary or
conditions of employments”
25. Transformational Leadership
Well produce beneficial changes is the
process of teaching and learning;
leading to a qualitative and sustained
improvement in performance arising
sustained improvements in
performance arising from enhance
motivation and commitment
26. Briggs(2003)
Transformational and transitional
approach may both be adopted by
leaders who need to find a balance
appropriate to their specific context
27. Briggs Stated
“….an instinctive ‘pull’ towards a
transformational style, followed by a
realization that the efficient working of
the system indicated by a
transactional style was an essential
factor for enable their role… effective
enactment of their role depends upon
their perceiving the balance between
transitional and transformational style”
28. Foskett and Lumby(2003)
Terms …..”control and supports”
“… an unremitting(constant) demand
for change for improved teaching and
for improved outcomes. Teachers
have been subject to requirements
which for many have become
overwhelming (overpower). The
incidence of stress has become
epidemic(wave) and stress-related
illness an ever present hazard”.
29. Answer to negative outcomes
The alternative to control and regulation
is to develop a framework to optimize
staff contributions through a “softer”
Softer mean Involves people as
individuals and providing opportunities
for all staff to develop and work toward
fulfilling their aspirations
Two key aspects of this approach are:
Staff Motivation and
professional development
30. Foskett and Lumby
(negative outcomes)
1.From Government pressure to raise
educational standards , leading to
greater regulation and strong
accountability
For Example,
“Punitive’(discipline) inspection system
result management of teachers
performance has negative
connotation(relation)”
31. Staff Motivation
Handy (1993),
Hall and Rowland(1999)and
Foskett and Lumby(2003)
Stated “ambiguity in the concept of
motivation”
Plethora stated this phenomena as
“no overarching or single theoretical
model which explain motivation”
35. Incentive Theories
(Performance Related Pay )
Base on assumption "principle of reinforment
the ‘carrot 'approach
Mean: “specific rewards or encouragement
for good performance”
1.The individual perceiving the extra reward to
be worth the extra effort
2.The performance can be measured and
attributed to the individual
3.The individual wants that particular kind of
rewards
4.The increased performance will not become
the new minimum standard
36. Intrinsic Theories
Base on assumption
“People work best if given a
worthwhile job and allowed to get on
wit h it …the reward will come from
the satisfaction in the work itself”
37. Foskett and Lumby(2003)
Teaching is rich in intrinsic motivation
But
Large number of teachers are not
satisfied with their job
Why?4 reasons:
Excessive bureaucracy,
heavy workloads
Low pay
Inadequate professional development
38. Exampls
In UK
30% teacher left the job of teaching in
less than five years.
In USA
20% teacher left the job of teaching in
less than three years
39. Discussion
Al these theories are base on the
assumptions that motivation is
essential if employees are to perform
well
People are motivated is different ways
and knowledge what works for each
person provides the potential
enhancedLong term performance
43. Define it as
An ongoing process of education, training ,learning and
support activities.
Taking place in either external or work based setting
Proactively engaged in by professional teacher ,head
teachers and other school leaders.
Aims primarily at promoting learning and development
of their professional knowledge, skill and values.
To help them to decide on and implement values
changes in their teaching and leadership behavior.
So that they can educate their students more effectively
Thus achieving an agree balance between individual,
school and national needs.
44. Bush (2002) case on
professional development
Teaching as a career, rather than just a job.
School and collage need to help teachers to
access development opportunities at every
stages of their career
Why? Sense of direction which is an
essential components of a long terms
approach
Teachers: Professional developments include
subject knowledge and pedagogy
Leaders: Ensure for ample opportunity for
teachers to access Professional
Development opportunities at every career
stage
45. Professional Development
A vital dimension in improving teachers’
professional skills and capabilities
Essential part of lifelong learning and is likely
to be beneficial for school
Firstly, effective professional development is
likely to improve motivation which in turn
providing the basis of teachers retention.
Secondly, direct contribution in two ways
a. Develop and extending teachers
knowledge and skills.
b. Confidence and motivation ,transform of
knowledge.
46. Managing Performance in South
African school
Thurlow(2003),Major educational
policy concerns in South Africa
1.poor performance and
2.inadequante outcomes of schooling
Why ?(Bush and Anderson, 2003)
“An absence of a culture of teaching
and learning in many school”
47. Reasons
The year of struggle against apartheid
(an Afrikaans word meaning "the state of being
apart”, the ruling party from 1948 to 1994)
inevitable affected Schools.
Weapon of black majority
“strike and demonstrate against the policies of
white Government
Similarly ,teacher union were also become a part of
liberation movement, they frequently be absent
from school to engage in protest activity
After that,(Post apartheid period) difficult to shift
from struggle and protest to a culture of learning .
48. Bandat(1995)
The crisis in black education, including
what has come to be referred ,to as
the ‘break down’ in the ‘culture of
learning ’
49. Thurlow(2003)
Summaries the main performance issue
as:
1.The organizational performance of
school in respects of their prime function
(teaching and learning) ,generally need
substantial improvements.
2.The key resource for the performance
are the people who work in them
3. Improvements in the performance of
school and people’s contribution to these
,have to be managed
50. Performance: The major goal for
South African school
How?
(Ministry of Education ;Smith 1997)
Sitting Goals:
1.Transformation of the education and
training system
2.Bring redness, establish quality, open
the door of opportunity, enable a true
culture of learning and teaching to
take root and higher level of
performance
51. strategies
Establishment of a “National
Directorate for Quality Assurance”
They develop a Model “coherent
model for quality management”
(Department of Education 1998)
Thurlow(2003) notion of performance
must always be referred to “notion of
quality”
52. Discussion
South African school manager are
serious concerns about the
performance of their school
Problems:
1. Generally, difficult condition
2. Highest level of performance with
limited resources i.e demoralization
of teaching profession and limited
availability of documents
53. Performance Management in
England and Wales
Jenning and Lomas(2003)
“ the process of monitoring employee
performance in an objective manner in
an control machanism”
54. Research Survey
(53 head teachers of secondary teachers)
Positive response in performance management
for heads and unexpected outcomes
1. Performance management has been
introduced without pain and has been seen
as a threat.
2. There is no debate about the purpose of
performance management, they are all
agreed.
Report, very little empirical evidence to support
the general criticism of performance
management
55. Jenning and Coleboune(2004)
Survey on 20 Local Education
authorities (LEA) in Wales
Result, targets setting is a key
element in 13 of the 15 pionts
56. Four Part Model of performance
Managements
Non performance Management
“Laissez Faire”
Accountable: goal are clear but
capability is not developed
Development : focus on developing
performance but goals may not be set
Performance Management:
purposeful in setting goals for
individual and in developing their
capability to achieve them.
57. Conclusion
The research reports here provides
mixed evidence on the efficacy of
official performance management
schemes in education
60. Performance Related Pay
An important example of the
application of “incentive theories”
Incentive theories?
Rewards
Pay
Working Condition
Holiday Arrangement
62. Criticism (Foreman,1997)
PRP dose not appear to motivate and it
can certainly damage organizational
cultures
Explain :
Teachers react adversely to incentive
measures. which they see as inequitable
School and college begets remain under
pressure
Doubt about to measure individual
performance and reward
63. Burges et.al,(2001) (Review the
performance threshold scheme)
Historically :teachers paid on a single
scale with nine basic increments.
New Scheme: nine basic increments +
Performance against specific factor +
Professional development + Pupil
attainments
Reward: received an annual bonus of
₤2000 + Upper scale
Same as in Australian
64. Summarise the fining by large
scale research
88% of eligible teachers
From this 97% awards the additional
payment
And 75% head teacher wrote the same
report
66. Move to Last topic
Conclusion : Improving performance
67. Incentive schemes : PRP
No impact on teachers performance or
on pupil outcomes
Result Shows:
Extrinsic factors does not contribute
well
68. What we do ?
Teachers are motivated by intrinsic
factors
1.altruism (un selfness)
2. affiliation to the school and their
colleagues and
3. personal growth
69. Quality of staff performance?
Important Issue
Drucker(1988)The focus of the
organization must be on performance
Requirements:
1.the sprite of performance is high
standards, for groups and person
2.generate optimum performance from
all staff
70. Answers:
Transformational Leadership
Potential to increase commitment to
the aims of the organization and to
motivate staff to perform at tjier best
for the sake of their pupils and
colleagues
72. Gleeson and Husbands (2003)
Performance management brings its
own
Tension
Complication and
Cynicism (doubts)
73. Leadership Role
(Approach based on the individual
needs )
Fine the other ways to inspire their
colleagues to achieve at their best
74. Mentoring and Coaching
Initially we discuss, importance of
professional developments for
teachers
Effective for
Pre-service
Fail
Insufficient for mid-career (40 years old
person )
75. What should ,we do?
Enhance knowledge of both content
and pedagogy
