What is Professional Review?
Professional Review is an ‘appraisal’ conversation between managers and their staff to identify and analyse a framework of skills, knowledge and behaviour that links to your department Quality Improvement Plans and College Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The resulting CPD plan should set out meaningful learning and development priorities that are specific and personal to the individual and inform the plan for the department as a whole.

Structure:
It is up to individual managers how they structure the day, a proposed agenda could be:
| 9am to 9.30am | Welcome and Briefing – Main Hall | |
| Managers tasks | Team tasks | |
| 9.30am to 10.30am | Curriculum Managers Meeting – Boardroom
Discussing your Self Assessment and Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) |
Staff use Learning & Development guide to start planning and researching the CPD plan including peer observation arrangements
|
| 11am to 12pm | Manager has one to ones / meets with course teams
|
Team familiarisation with QIP and to determine key actions for each course that will bring about improvements |

|
This is just an example, many managers have 10 or 20+ staff which would require them holding one to ones before this day so that the day can be used to have group/course team conversations and refresh targets and goals to complete a researched and informed CPD plan.
A Support or Corporate team may wish to structure as follows:
| 9am to 9.30am | Welcome and Briefing – Main Hall |
| 9.30am to 10.30am | Team meeting about their service targets for this year and review any performance outcomes from the previous year
|
| 11am to 1pm | Staff use Learning & Development guidance to start planning and researching their own CPD plan
Opportunities for smaller group or one to one discussions with manager |
| 1pm to 2pm | Break |
| 2pm to 4.45pm | Completion of CPD plans by all against L&D priorities:
· Teaching and Learning – Quality of Teaching, Learning & Assessment / Outcomes for Learners / Leadership and Management · Professional/Industry Upskilling · Personal Development to support role and responsibilities (Skills, Knowledge and Behaviours) |
Each Manager will be supported by the Professional Development team on the day and throughout September/October to review individual plans and create a CPD plan for the department establishing key themes for development, measuring effectiveness and bringing about improvement.
