Progress Tracking

Understanding Your Progress

myPDI tracks your progress in several ways:

• Individual competency scores - How you perform in each of the 17 areas
• Category totals - Your scores in Lesson Planning, Risk Management, and Teaching & Learning
• Overall scores - Your total score out of 51
• Trends over time - How your performance is changing across multiple observations

Key Metrics Explained

Latest Score

Your total score from your most recent trainer observation. This is out of 51 (17 competencies × 3 points).

Average Score

Your average score across all observations. This smooths out variation and shows your typical performance level.

Score Trend

A visual representation of how your scores have changed over time. An upward trend indicates improvement.

Competency Average

For each competency, you can see your average score across all observations. This helps identify consistent strengths and persistent development areas.

Standards Check Readiness

While there's no official "pass mark" for the Standards Check, these indicators suggest readiness:

• Total score of 43+ (85%) - Consistent high performance
• No competencies at 1 - No significant weak areas
• Stable or improving trend - Not declining
• Multiple observations at this level - Consistent, not a one-off

Identifying Development Areas

Your dashboard highlights competencies that need attention:

Top Development Needs

Competencies where you scored 1 in your latest observation. These are immediate priorities.

Average Development Needs

In the collapsible "Average Performance" section, you'll see competencies where your average is below 2.0. These are persistent areas to work on.

How to Improve

1. Review the feedback - Read what your trainer said about these competencies
2. Study the competency - Understand exactly what's being assessed
3. Practice deliberately - Focus on these areas in your lessons
4. Self-reflect - Note in your logs when you've worked on these areas
5. Ask for targeted observation - Request that your trainer pays special attention to these areas

Recognising Strengths

It's equally important to recognise what you do well:

Top Strengths

Competencies where you scored 3 in your latest observation. These are your current strong points.

Average Strengths

Competencies where your average is 2.5 or above. These are consistently strong areas.

Using Your Strengths

• Maintain these skills - don't neglect them while focusing on weaknesses
• Consider what makes you good at these - can you apply similar approaches elsewhere?
• Build confidence from your successes

Interpreting Trends

Upward Trend

Your scores are improving over time. Keep doing what you're doing!

Flat Trend

Your scores are stable. This might mean you've reached a plateau and need to focus on specific areas to break through.

Downward Trend

Your scores are declining. This could indicate fatigue, complacency, or changing circumstances. Discuss with your trainer.

Variable Trend

Scores go up and down significantly. This suggests inconsistency - work on delivering reliable, consistent lessons.

Long-term Progress

Track your progress over weeks and months:

• Regular observations - Aim for observations at least monthly to track progress effectively
• Compare periods - Look at your average score from 3 months ago versus now
• Set goals - Aim to improve specific competencies by your next observation
• Celebrate milestones - Acknowledge when you hit new high scores or eliminate a 1 score
