Newsletter 1, 2007: Merit Selection Update
Both Leadership Frameworks
are to be used in
Round 1, Semester 1.
At this stage, the information
below appears to be the situation that will exist during Round 1 (Semester
1) Merit Selection for 2007
Principal-level Positions
All
applicants for Principal-level positions (Band 5 to Band 11 and Executive
Principal) will be assessed against the new framework, "Leadership
Matters".
-
The
previous "STAR" format will no longer be the desired model.
-
If
there are 5 Selection
Criteria, they will likely be a maximum of one page each. If
there are 3 SCs, the likely maximum will be 2 pages per SC.
-
Multiple
scenarios may be used within the SC to outline your skills.
-
It
is likely that all applicants will receive a supervisor's report that
rates them as "A", (Ready for promotion), "B"
(Capable, but requires support) or "C", (Not yet ready for
promotion to this level). If this is implemented, it will
require a supervisor-applicant interview to discuss the report.
A decision should be released
soon on whether there will be 3 or 5 Selection Criteria, together with the
wording for those criteria.
Associate Administrator
Positions
All applicants for
non-Principal positions (associate administrator positions) at this stage
including Head of Department, Head of Curriculum, HOSES, Deputy Principal
and Associate Principal will be assessed against the old framework,
"Standards Framework For Leaders".
Applicants assessed against
the Standards Framework will desirably bring the 'flavour' of
"Leadership Matters" into their written applications and
interviews.
A decision should be released
soon on whether applicants who are applying for 'Associate' positions as
well as 'Principal' positions will have to submit separate applications
written against individual frameworks.
Support Options
One-One Support:
I offer a detailed, critique and
application development program, followed up with interview skills
development. For Principals, my analysis of the new (and still
unfolding) process shows that changes in your personal and professional
approach to career management will be desirable to maintain momentum in
reaching your career aspirations. I now include work on professional
report writing, analysing yourself and your supervisor, and upward
management (managing your boss) as essential components of this program.
Please Note:
I work with a maximum of 15 clients in each round to ensure service is
personalised. Two have already registered and are working with me
now. Phone Mel (07) 5530 2676 or email
Mel for information.
Workshops
Principals
I will offer 2 rounds of workshops in Semester 1. The first
set (late February, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba)
will focus on application writing with reference to interview preparation
and "supervisor influencing" processes. The second set
(late March, same venues) will be highly focussed on interview skills.
If viable groups can be
assembled in other centres, I am willing to travel. Contact
Mel to negotiate this. Local convenors receive discounted
services.
Associate Administrators
I will also offer 2 rounds of workshops in Semester 1. The
first set (late February, Brisbane only at this stage) will focus on
application writing with reference to interview preparation. The
second set (late March, Brisbane again) will be highly focussed on
interview skills.
If viable groups can be
assembled in other centres, I am willing to travel. Contact
Mel to negotiate this. Local convenors receive discounted
services.
