ABSTRACT

This is the key document for making decisions about Critical Incident Interview data. There are three different versions depending on the level of post you are recruiting for:

• Main Professional Grade • Post Threshold • Outstanding/AST

The protocol for the Main Professional Grade is designed to be a very stretching entry level standard. That labelled ‘outstanding’ would also be suitable for teachers with leadership responsibilities. The rating protocol will help you assess the presence of each characteristic and whether you have enough characteristics within each cluster to count that cluster as a strength. Each characteristic contains a description of the level expected at this grade – the criteria.
