Assessment for Learning MOOC’s Updates
Adequately Managing Teacher Evaluation
The influence of teachers on student achievement has long been recognized. As a result, teacher assessment has received a lot of policy attention. Our suggestions for teacher assessment include putting greater focus on enhancing instruction as rather to evaluating teachers according to their efficiency.
- At summative end-of-year evaluations, feedback is given.
- Principals and HOD lack the time to gather adequate data for meaningful discussions regarding practice and its advancement.
- The context, complexity, and needs of the teacher are not reflected in observation measures.
- It is erroneous, unproductive, and unfair to evaluate teachers based on occasional, advertised classroom visits. Principals should visit every classroom at least once a month for quick, unannounced visits and face-to-face chats in order to see how teachers are doing on a daily basis.
What my school could possibly look like if this issue was resolved:
- Results from an effective assessment are valid, dependable, and provide development-related recommendations and actions.
- The outcomes of evaluations will be linked to all professional development.
- Keep good teachers in the classroom by recognizing them.
- Aid all educators in enhancing their performance
- The goal of evaluation will be understood by school administrators and teachers to be a "coherent, comprehensive, and coordinated approach to improving teaching quality." It will also be seen as a component of a larger interconnected and complex system that aims to reach, educate, and support all students in their pursuit of continuous improvement.
