Through the identification of areas of improvement, appraisal results can, furthermore, feed into the preparation of individual development plans and/or inform the professional development opportunities a school leader takes part in. In all of these three appraisal frameworks, appraisal is based on and systematically tied to professional development plans that are embedded within wider school goals. In Ontario, Canada, and Victoria, Australia, school leader appraisal is also firmly grounded within a wider system of professional development for school leaders (see Box 7.3).
