Question 1
1.2 Discuss the impact of poor performance on an educator's employment contract. (13
marks)
Poor performance by an educator can significantly affect their employment contract. Here are
some key impacts:
1. Breach of Professional Duty: Educators have a duty to provide high-quality education.
Consistent poor performance violates this duty, leading to disciplinary action.
2. Student Outcomes: Poor performance impacts students’ academic success, which
reflects negatively on the school’s reputation.
3. Performance Reviews: Employment contracts often include performance evaluations.
Poor performance can lead to negative reviews, affecting job security.
4. Professional Development: Poor performers may be required to undergo additional
training, which can be time-consuming and stressful.
5. Remedial Action: Schools might implement performance improvement plans, adding
pressure and scrutiny on the educator.
6. Employment Termination: Continuous poor performance, despite warnings and
improvement plans, can lead to dismissal.
