Teacher appraisal system

Appraisal is a system of holding meetings in which the staff's performance is judged or assessed. Teacher appraisal system is a complicated but necessary process. It is particularly complex because of the varied types of teachers and students, and styles of teaching and learning.

Properly done, however this process can and should result in positive, constructive change. Central to the whole process is the idea that one never grows too old, too wise or too experienced to improve.

The appraisal system will improve the school's capacity to function as a learning community. It will also enhance the collective knowledge base and problem solving ability of the school staff. As a consequence, the quality of instruction and classroom climate that students experience will be enhanced and greater student achievement fostered.
