PGC for Principals, Tumuaki, and ECE Leaders
The PGC for Principals, Tumuaki and ECE leaders was developed to replicate the benefits of the teacher PGC - reduced compliance, stronger professional networks, and a focus on everyday practice - while respecting the unique responsibilities of leadership roles.
The PGC for principals, tumuaki and ECE professional leaders is intended to create more equitable, contextually responsive access to opportunities to learning and growth than occurred through highly varied appraisal systems. It promotes the use of research and frameworks while fostering new knowledge developed with colleagues about practices that make a positive difference for learners. It encourages a collective responsibility for quality teaching and practice for all learners across the diverse contexts of Aotearoa.

Professional Growth Cycle for school boards and ECE employers
The Professional Growth Cycle requires tumuaki | principals, and ECE professional leaders to keep their board or employer informed of their own leaders’ needs for the PGC, and to seek support from the board or employer to facilitate those plans.
For these reasons it is vital that boards and employers have at least a foundational working knowledge of the PGC.
