Teacher capability procedures—words that send shivers down the spine of even the most seasoned school leaders. In this episode, I share practical guidance to make this daunting task more manageable.

We  explore the recently released non-statutory guidance from the UK’s Department for Education for managing underperformance, with insights that can be applied universally.

Whether you're dealing with minor underperformance or more serious cases, this episode provides you with tools and frameworks to handle these challenges with fairness, support, and a structured approach.
