Today we hear a lot about the sorry state of affairs in our public education system. It 'a cry for eradication of bad apples in the teaching. The question is: what is the question of consideration. There is a difference between being poor performance and incompetence.
It seems to me that appear incompetence within the first three years of teaching experience would be. Poor performance can then be a teacherCareer. Both conditions must be explicitly clarified. Who is responsible for determining the competence or lack thereof, or the performance of a teacher or administrator, or Board of Education? legal issues are abound.
Although I have written several articles on the nature of supervision in the school environment, I have not addressed the specific characteristics of assessment. First, the evaluation of teachers for more than a simple checklist of do's and don'ts. Such things asdo the following have their place in the overall standings of a teacher, but not what is significant: students can easily hear the teacher? The teacher speaks for itself. He left the teacher standing or sitting while teaching.? If the boards attractive? They reflect the lesson Bulletin Boards?
As a former chairman of the department of English teachers at fourteen, I visited each teacher in each semester. These are some of the things I wanted: The teacherhave good eye contact with students? The teacher uses her voice to awaken the interest of students? The teacher asks the students by name? The teacher will use student names all reflect an attitude toward the student (s)? The teacher will use the language and encouraging tone? Perhaps the questions the teacher wants to give that answer? Perhaps the teacher shows a general feeling of warmth for students? The lesson the teacher demonstrate care? There are many otherCriteria that are used in the analysis. One is simply to illustrate the point: if the teachers greet their students when they enter the classroom?
According to the official statement discussed, I met with the teacher, and my observation has provided the opportunity for feedback from teachers. This is essential to maintaining effective relationships and personal development. Teachers should receive a copy of the written evaluation. You should make a space for teachers, a formal response. OpenCommunication raises the bar for excellence.
