Having clear standards that teachers are expected to meet is an important starting point considered in this chapter. We review evaluation processes, emphasising the importance of teachers’ reflective participation. We also consider classroom observation practices and giving feedback to teachers who support professional growth and development.  \n6.1 What is teacher evaluation and why is it important?  \nTeacher evaluation is a vital element in improving student learning outcomes. It is concerned with gathering evidence from a range of sources that inform on teacher performance and using this to support improvements in practice. This is sometimes referred to as performance review, teacher appraisal or teacher assessment. A good teacher evaluation system is a powerful tool to:  \n• help schools improve  \n• identify opportunities for teachers of all levels to develop further  \n• deliver accountability for learner progress.  \nIn the first round of the OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey (OECD 2009, p. 29), teachers reported that “performance review and feedback increases their job satisfaction and significantly increases their development as teachers”.  \nThere are a number of approaches that can be used in evaluating teaching. The most common include:  \n• classroom observations (by managers, other teachers or external evaluators)  \n• value-added models that try to measure gains in student achievement  \n• student evaluations of teachers  \n• judgements made by the teacher’s line manager or principal  \n• teacher self-evaluation  \n• teacher portfolios of work.  \nHow judgements are made is critically important. Too much weight can be given to a narrow range of evidence, for example students’ examination performance. Triangulating evidence from a number of sources, systematically incorporating classroom observations and using more than one evaluator will help ensure judgements are sound.  \nTeacher evaluation systems are influenced by many factors. The following are important for their success:  \n• The system identifies and supports the values of the school.  \n• Teachers and managers are fully prepared for the implementation of thereview system and they understand it.  \n• Care is taken that evaluation focuses on teachers’ professional practice.  \n• Teachers are evaluated formatively to provide feedback and identify professional development needs, so their knowledge and experience can grow. In this way, performance review of teachers has a direct benefit on the learning experience of learners, and therefore on learner outcomes.  \n• The process is manageable and supports teaching rather than becoming a burden that hinders it.  \nSome systems emphasise evaluation with the intention of holding teachers to account rather than improvement. Some also link performance to salary changes. While there are effective evaluation systems that combine summative performance review with formative evaluation, there is a danger that they can unintentionally create a climate of fear and resistance among  \n47 Developing your school with Cambridge learner attributes A guide for school leaders  \n6: Evaluating teaching continued  \nteachers and inhibit creativity and honesty. Teachers might be less willing to be selfcritical if their pay is linked to performance. Systems work much better when they motivate.  \n6.2 Developing standards for teachers  \nStandards are clear descriptions used to define and measure quality expectations. We have already considered the importance of developing a clear understanding of learning and assessment objectives when planning lessons, and ensuring learners understand these. For teacher evaluation the practice is similar. Teachers need to have a clear knowledge and understanding of the st","cbCaiegcBFRACa2b","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiegcBFRACa2b","pdf",649517,11,"English","# 6.
