7. PMDP Award Ceremony – 13 November 2012 6. Quality Assurance - UKZN Moderation of PoEs:3 – 5 September 2012 Moderation Team:UKZN, Independent Principal & DoE Official The vast majority of them were of a commendable standard, given the time constraints and the stop-start challenges this year Whilst all except two of the moderated samples met the minimum requirements, the facilitators must review those that are poorly completed and ask students to rework them Continuity of the moderation team was prudent because some issues raised in last years report were acted on It was pleasing to note that people are being managed. HR issues of absenteeism, incapacity and misconduct are being addressed. Principals are now rule and role driven Educator recognition procedures were standardized across the portfolios in the main. It was evident that principals were exposed to this for the first time The challenge for everyone is to set up systems for success, so that efficient schooling and results do not depend on one person only 7

10. PMDP Award Ceremony – 13 November 2012 7. Research Conclusions Research has shown that the package of practices in the PMDP has medium strength and a statistically significant linear relationship with school performance Statistically the Top 7 Practices contribute to 7% of the variation in the results at both Primary & Secondary Schools No statistically valid linear relationship exists between Infrastructure and the school results (Secondary) From a policy perspective, if the intention is to achieve improved results then resourcing should primarily focus on improving practices rather than infrastructure 10

11. PMDP Award Ceremony – 13 November 2012 8. External PMDP Evaluation An external evaluation conducted on the PMDP in July 2011 by Helene Perold & Associates presented the following observations, amongst others: PMDP is currently impacting on approximately 500 000 learners per year by training and supporting principals to create well-managed learning and teaching environments in their schools Through the programme, PMDP is grooming ‘situational leadership’ – turning school principals into leaders and managers who not only run their schools as organisations, but who are also influential within their communities and society more broadly PMDP has demonstrated that it combines strategic vision with operational efficacy and has successfully engaged in some of the most difficult and intractable contexts of poverty and underdevelopment with surprising results PMDP has thus succeeded in overcoming barriers to the training of principals that many other programmes could not solve and is able to deliver its programme at a scale none of the others have managed to reach 11
