Seaford K-7 School tells the story of one site's journey in developing a performance and development culture. The Principal, Lisa Bryant, explains how the three key elements of collaboration, using documentation effectively and teacher self-reflection, supported by a performance conversation framework, enable the school to achieve better outcomes for students and a robust, supportive learning culture among the staff.

Teachers involved in a classroom observation process and embedding the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers in their practice and professional dialogue are depicted as a positive example of the DECD performance and development cycle in action.
