TEACHER EVALUATION TOOL

Teacher evaluation is a vital element in improving student learning outcomes. It is concerned with gathering evidence from a range of sources
that inform on teacher performance and using this to support improvements in practice. This is sometimes referred to as performance review,
teacher appraisal or teacher assessment. A good teacher evaluation system is a powerful tool to:

• help schools improve

• identify opportunities for teachers of all levels to develop further
• deliver accountability for learner progress.

There are a number of approaches that can be used in evaluating teaching. The most common include:

• Classroom observations (by managers, other teachers or external evaluators)

• Value-added models that try to measure gains in student achievement
• Student evaluations of teachers
• Judgements made by the teacher’s line manager or principal
• Teacher self-evaluation
• Teacher portfolios of work.
