Review Management

EMS360 provides flexible staff performance reviews for schools and business

EMS360 offers an all-in-one system for conducting staff performance reviews that is both flexible and customisable. Developed specifically to be used by schools to provide a simple and effective staff review and appraisal process, our software can just as readily be used for any business organisation to conduct staff performance reviews and incorporating key performance indicators.

Whether used for school or business you can set up and administer your reviews in accordance with your individual preferences and practices. We have worked extensively to identify the specific requirements for different schools within Australia and incorporated functionality to align their review and appraisal processes. A public school in Victoria may be required to conduct PDP Reviews whereas a NSW school may be required to use Pathway Reviews info Pathway reviews)

The EMS360 Staff Review module provides the tools to collect and manage meaningful data along with supporting evidence - creating a repository of information that can be easily accessed to identify areas for improvement, future goals and monitor progress to build teacher effectiveness.

Staff reviews provide essential feedback and evaluation

High performing schools recognise the importance of developing their staff to the highest level. To enable this a professional performance review process is an essential part, not only to improve staff performance but to enhance school leadership. Implementing a teacher evaluation plan enables a clear focus on school improvement within an environment of constructive feedback.

Conducting performance reviews is a simple and useful process to attain an overview of individual staff to:

  • Identify performance issues
  • Set clear performance goals
  • Build confidence and professionalism
  • Engage and enable accountability
  • Target professional development to advance school improvement

Regular and ongoing staff reviews provide a valuable evidence based chronicle of a staff members performance and progression over time.

Teacher effectiveness can only reliably be identified by their school and classroom performance. Feedback is fundamental to a constructive performance review. Our Staff Review process cultivates an ongoing relationship between the staff member and their reviewer/mentor, thereby helping to establish a culture of sought after constructive feedback.

Have a look at the EMS Staff Review module features

When the Staff Review module is teamed with the 360 Degree review and Management Diary modules you are able to collect critical information that provides accurate teacher evaluation over a period of time and from a variety of sources.

PDP Reviews

Used by Victorian government schools to mirror department requirements for PDP Reviews

Overview of the PDP model

As Jensen (2011, p.7) states, ‘Meaningful appraisal is geared to teacher development and improvements in learning’. The performance and development model is designed to support teachers and principal class employees to develop the professional practices that have the greatest impact on teaching and learning. The model facilitates professional growth and allows teachers and principal class employees to identify their own professional learning needs based on an analysis of their students’ needs, set goals, monitor their progress and provide evidence of the impact of their practice.

Australian Institute of Teaching Standards

What is AITSL

The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) provides national leadership for the Australian, State and Territory Governments in promoting excellence in the profession of teaching and school leadership.
AITSL Mission: To promote excellence so that teachers and school leaders have the maximum impact on student learning in all Australian schools.
AITSL Aspiration: That the e orts of everyone involved in education support more teachers to teach like the best, so that student learning is maximised.

AITSL Standards

The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers reflect and build on national and international evidence that a teacher's effectiveness has a powerful impact on students, with a broad consensus that teacher quality is the single-most important in-school factor influencing student achievement.
The Standards provide a framework that makes clear the knowledge, practice and professional engagement required across teachers' careers, they are organised into four career stages and guide the preparation, support and development of teachers.
The endorsement of professional standards for teachers that can guide professional learning, practice and engagement, facilitates the improvement of teacher quality and contributes positively to the public standing of the profession. The key elements of quality teaching are described in the Standards. They articulate what teachers are expected to know and be able to do at four career stages: Graduate, Proffcient, Highly Accomplished and Lead.
Teachers can use the Standards to recognise their current and developing capabilities, professional aspirations and achievements.

EMS360 incorporates AITSL standards

The EMS360 Staff Review and PD modules can be configured to have the AITSL standards incorporated, simplifying compliance and reporting for your school. We use both the Australian Professional standards for Teachers and Australian Professional standards for Principals.

Having the AITSL standards available allows for great flexibility - they can be used for reference, adopted entirely or selectively edited.

360 Degree Review Management

360 degree teacher and leadership feedback

360 degree feedback is a system for collecting private and confidential multi source reviews, which are often used to review and evaluate performance. When used to support professional learning and development 360 degree reviews can be enormously beneficial for both the individual and the school. It is a proven method for obtaining confidential feedback in response to specific questions.

To be effective 360 degree reviews need to be used as a respectful and professionally implemented development tool.

The entire review process is managed by the school, developing the questions, selecting the participants and interpreting the results. The review content can include both written response and rating scale survey questions.

We use a secure external reviewer logon process to ensure privacy and confidentiality. For convenience responses can be entered via a smartphone or tablet app. Results are graphed for easy analysis and can be used for a range of purposes.

Developing an excursion management policy

Effective excursion management requires the school to manage the various risks associated with all excursions, incursions including overseas student travel.

In order to minimise risks the excursion management policy should set some guidelines to be followed when planning excursions, such as the requirement for a management plan or risk assessment, along with details of documentation to be completed beforehand. Final approval for excursions is dependent on meeting the excursion management policy requirements.

Our excursion management module provides an easy to use system to make sure that your excursions are managed professionally and in accordance with your school and departmental policies.

What people say about EMS360

Damascus College

Now in our fourth year of operation in EMS360, we continue to explore further what the program can offer Damascus College. The ACE, Leave, PD and PPD application and approval process have allowed us to seamlessly manage and have overall view of student activities, staff leave and absence and professional development. Staff have certainly responded well since its introduction, and its use is now ingrained as a standard practice. All Staff Accreditations and personal professional learning are easily maintained by individual staff. Staff reviews is another feature that we are beginning to utilise further in greater depth. Russell and Gerald have been very responsive to our ideas of further enhancements of EMS360, and continue to provide a great level of personal support.

Chris Grant Deputy Principal

Downlands College

Educational Management Systems has modernised the College’s management of staff leave, professional development and events/activities. In addition, implementing Educational Management Systems has improved efficiency and record keeping. The implementation and ongoing support has been of the highest quality. I would recommend this software to all schools looking for efficiency and compliance in this area.

Stephen Koch Principal

Siena College

Years ago I dreamt of a program that would take care of all the administrative hack work that accompanied professional learning opportunities for our staff. My dreams materialised when we adopted a very new StaffPD developed by Educational Management Solutions (EMS). From there EMS has grown to incorporate systematic management of all our PL , Excursion, Incursion and Camps activities as well as a platform for our Annual Review Meetings and Leave or Absence management. They have succeeded where others have failed by providing an active consultation with stakeholders process and incorporating elements that are adaptable and customisable to suit a variety of educational settings. We have not yet exploited all they have to offer but if service and the ability to deliver are amongst your KPIs then EMS has it in spades. ”

Michael Hanrahan Director of Strategy and Risk

Toowoomba Grammar School

The EMS 360 program has been used for many years to organise our professional development needs. As a administrative tool for the allocation and tracking of PD requests, it has worked seamlessly with our School processes. The teaching staff use it for tracking their own professional development experiences and for the recording of goals and collation of their evidence of professional growth as part of their annual review. The team at Education Management Solutions are very responsive if we have ever needed any support.

EMS: Education Management Solutions

The name behind the most advanced online management systems for Australian schools

Education Management Solutions

EMS develop management systems to specifically meet the needs of the education community.

The directors of EMS have many years of experience working in various roles in the education community.  First hand insight into the processes and requirements common to all Australian schools as well those specific to each state and school type, gives us a solid understanding of management needs and challenges.

Industry knowledge, technical ability and experience allows us to create powerful applications that offer comprehensive solutions for managing complex school processes,at the most affordable price.

Why we made EMS360

Several years ago we set out to create a system to help schools manage staff annual reviews and professional development.

Staff within the education industry are required to satisfy certain criteria, complete reviews and attend a prescribed amount of PD each year.

We developed the StaffPD application with functionality to meet these requirements and make life easier. StaffPD continued to evolve as departmental requirements changed and new functionality was requested, this resulted in a somewhat unruly beast.

Our team set about designing and developing a completely new system incorporating even more of the desired functionality, organised to provide the most straightforward user experience. Education staff have enough to do without being further bogged down in learning how to use software. We think you are going to love EMS360, it really is the most comprehenisve and easy to use solution on the market today.

EMS360 continues to evolve thanks to our many users. Suggestions for new functionality or enhancements are assessed and developed quickly, usually becoming available to all users within a matter of months.

EMS360 helps Staff Performance Management

We have made the annual review process easier, information is centralised and processes are streamlined.

  • Users of EMS360 are more efficient and are freed from the tyranny of paperwork. Historical data is available at the click of a mouse so annual reviews become less daunting each year
  • EMS360 offers a formal process that retains historical records and provides an audit trail that removes the possibility of lost paperwork and misunderstandings. Professional development and Staff reviews become transparent, documented processes and ensures professional standards and legal requirements are met
  • EMS360 can manage all areas of Professional Development. Staff can initiate PD requests, organise events, assign attendees, calculate costs and print reports

What we believe

  • Software should be simple, yet powerful
  • Software should save you time
  • Your data should be safe, secure, and accessible to you whenever you want it
  • Software updates should be free and seamlessly integrated
  • You should never have to worry about the IT headaches that come with security and ongoing maintenance
