Principles to Consider• Consistency through education and

communication• Assess in context of teachers’ daily work • Systems/evidence required to assess

criteria should be rigorous and robust• Need to show competence across the

criteria• Above all collection of evidence should

support professional learning, not compliance, and be a career long

habit.


Appraisal• Who appraises teachers in your

setting?• What do they appraise?• What evidence do they gather?• What skills are needed by an

appraiser? How are they acquired?• How do you gain consistency in

judgments about teachers?

(5 minutes )


Dr Cathy Wylie NZCERThe survey indicated that where teachers ‘strongly agree’ that their school had useful appraisal systems that focused on learning they also ‘strongly agreed’ that: • School goals really did guide their day to day work• They had sufficient time to work together to plan their

teaching and discuss student work• Departmental meetings were often used to discuss

student achievement and strategies to improve it where needed

• That good teachers were retained at the school.

(‘Focusing leadership on adult learning: the secondary school challenge’– based on data from a 2009 national survey of NZ secondary school teachers).


PMS Guidelines (Ministry of Education)

• Aspects that need to be appraised:– Teaching responsibilities

(e.g. planning, teaching, assessment, curriculum)
