Finding the Line Between Appraisal & Growth with Lindsay Prendergast

Finding the Line Between Appraisal & Growth with Lindsay Prendergast

In #coachbetter episode, Kim chats with Dr. Lindsay Prendergast, who's currently Assistant Director of the Danielson Group, and a best selling author. Lindsay was a teacher, administrator and a coach for many years before shifting to work with the Danielson Group.

In this conversation, they talk about:

  • Why appraisal and supervision is so important - and should be seen as a gift

  • How appraisal has gotten twisted, and become so punitive

  • Where coaching fits into this process

  • Where the lines get blurry when administrators seek to bring coaching into appraisal

  • How we can help draw a clearer distinction between supervision, appraisal, evaluation and coaching and growth

  • Why the language and the naming of processes (like appraisal, feedback, and coaching) so important

  • What schools (coaches & leaders) need to consider as they are working towards building plans for both appraisal and growth

This conversation might be controversial because it unpacks so many challenging concepts that are a key focus in many senior leader conversations. It is absolutely essential that we have clarity on the difference between appraisal and growth.
