Success Wheel
As part of my PRD last week I was asked to complete a success wheel. Instead of the headings provided on this wheel I had to provide a list of my roles and then to rate how I thought I was doing from 0, not very good at all, to 10 excellent. The dots were then joined, looking for a dip to show development needs. It was intended to find ways to address that.
Although some colleagues enjoyed this, I didn’t like it. It seemed very simplistic. I know what my development needs are but this little tool didn’t show them up, because I put myself near the outer edge for everything, so there were no obvious dips.
My roles? Teaching (Class, Music and French) Pastoral, Planning, Assessment, Reporting, Collaboration, Outreach, Professional Development of others, Personal Support.
I also had to print out my CPD log to record my hours this year – 121 hours so far, not including travelling time. Wow!

I'm not a fan either of these over-simplistic tools, Dorothy, but even this particular method would have been more useful if, having chosen your headings, your colleagues then rated you on each one (rather than you marking yourself), and the average (mode, probably) of their scores was marked up.

That would certainly have been an interesting thing to do John, and I will suggest it the next time. I wonder how people could be encouraged towards honesty and fairness?
By the way, sorry I didn't see this comment until now. I thought I had this set to notify me of comments, but clearly not!
