16. HEaTED’s Competency Assessment Toolkit for Technical Staff (CATTS)

17. Received many requests for help with organisational and individual performance assessment In response to these requests, and a wider UK need, we have developed a new resource exclusively for HEaTED members Background

18. CATTS has been designed to change the way that the professional technicians in HE (and FE) explore performance It provides a benchmark for all professionals (regardless of specialism or discipline) of their current competencies, development areas, and future direction Background

19. Resource pack/Toolkit to help Managers assess current competency and plan for future demands and needs It requires a shift in thinking from the traditional annual appraisal process to more of a continuous review process which aims to deliver excellence through an ongoing conversation around performance, capability and capacity What is it?

20. The toolkit addresses 5 key competency areas as modules: 1.Professional Practice 2.The Student Experience 3.Leadership and Management 4.Planning and organising resources 5.Governance and compliance (incl.H&S) Within each module there are 5 levels of competency for the reviewee to be matched against: 1.Learner 2.Experimentalist 3.Practitioner 4.Specialist 5.Expert Using CATTS

21. Roll out… Raising awareness via the regional networks Looking for pilot sites / volunteers to evaluate the toolkit For sale from November Workshop at HEaTED Conference
