Assessment includes Teachers as well 😎

Assessment

This is the final term for the session.
Performance appraisal shouldn't just be for students.

How will schools carry out a qualitative Performance appraisal of each teacher?

Is there a School Improvement Plan and was the SIP shared at the onset of the session?

Which teacher kept on top of it all?

Were 'drop-ins' vis-a-vis formal observations done and recorded to assess the teachers' lessons?

Was the teacher monitored in terms of contributions during co-curricular activities?

Rate the teacher's relationship with students, peers, subordinates, line managers and parents - how well?

Do you do tests for basic updated mastery level of Numeracy, literacy, general knowledge and ICT skills for ALL the teachers?

Has the teacher demonstrated interest in continuing to improve without waiting for you to be the sponsor?

Do you intend to have a 360 degree assessment done for each teacher?

Classroom Management - The classroom environment:


Looking back, when I consider the circumstances under which I learnt best as a young student in the primary and secondary schools and the classroom arrangements that impeded my learning, I know that creating a conducive teaching environment that is orderly and that meets the needs of individual students is ideal. It starts their day right.

Classroom Management:

As Head of Early Years back then, I observed differentiation demonstrated in a very satisfactory way by excellent practitioners (cudos to Oyinye Nwankpa and Dodeye Jude) in the Nursery section of a school in Abuja, Nigeria. Each child was carried along at his or her own pace, while both the class teacher and the assistant teacher effectively enabled and monitored learning.

Does every child really matter in your class, do you differentiate your lessons effectively? 😎

Are you Emotionally Intelligent or not? 😎

'Emotional Intelligence enables people to have positive interactions with one another, anticipate other people's thoughts and feelings and show appropriate degrees of empathy.

Can your school be said to be an Emotionally Intelligent school by all and sundry? 😎
