Recruitment and Human Resource Management

---

Do you need an external panel member for your recruitment interviews? Jo Hammer has years of experience in staffing and recruitment in both the food service industry and in education. In the education world this includes graduates, general teaching positions, middle and senior leadership and non-teaching staff.  Jo has interviewed hundreds of potential employees for casual, contract and ongoing positions and brings a friendly, objective and well-honed interview style to any team.

There are a range of different types of school reviews, such as internal mid-point reviews for leadership roles as well as cyclical, external whole school reviews.  Any review is a complex collection of planning, data collection and collation, collaboration and feedback and Jo has experience in coordinating and facilitating both middle-leaders reviews, annual review meetings and school review processes. 

A feature of the service provided by JHAMeducation is the customisation of the review or appraisal to meet your needs and budget. Key features of education reviews are links to AITSL standards, multiple data points, and a 360 approach. JHAMeducation will work with you to plan, develop, and deliver any type of review.

Here is what some middle leaders have said about their formative review process: 

"I really appreciate the effort you have put into this process, which I have found the most rewarding and useful review I have participated in" 

"Thanks for the valuable and informative discussions during the process. I appreciate your insight and recommendations greatly"

Do you have a process or framework for your staff professional development? Ongoing professional learning and development is vital for staff engagement and growing their capacity. Professional Development Plans (PDPs) enable staff to track and share their professional development experiences, and a school-wide approach ensures consistency in both the what and the how.

In the education setting, PD hours are essential for registration and accreditation, and whilst it is the responsibility of the individual to keep track of their PL / PD hours, organisations that facilitate this demonstrate to their staff that they value this important aspect of the profession.

JHAMeducation can assist in establishing or improving professional development frameworks that suit your school setting, taking into consideration your school's strategic intent and expectations.
