It’s the end of the school year, which can only mean one thing: performance appraisal season. But with targets that feel random, policies that haven’t caught up, and a system still obsessed with spreadsheets… we’re asking:
Do schools even value great teaching anymore – or just good data?

In this episode, Dylan and Hayden unpack:

• What appraisals are supposed to be vs. what they’ve become

• The 2024 rule change that schools are quietly ignoring (hint: appraisals shouldn't affect your pay anymore)

• Two shocking listener horror stories — including one about a school disco being used to block a teacher's progression

• Why stretch targets often just mean stretched teachers

• What a fair, supportive appraisal system could look like
