Every school is to develop a teacher appraisal process. The appraisal process is to be led, coordinated and supported by the principal and be negotiated at the school. All teachers other than the principal, in the school are to participate in the appraisal process, through a range of negotiated collegial practices.

The purpose of teacher appraisal is improvement in teaching and learning. Appraisal practices must therefore focus on improving teaching and learning, must be based on best practice in the field and must assist teachers clarify how their work is contributing to the school’s goals as expressed in the school plan. The process must be consistent with the principles outlined in the Performance Appraisal Scheme for Teachers and Executive Staff Other Than Principals.

Many existing practices in schools are based on collegiality and contribute to ongoing professional development. Teacher appraisal builds on these practices.

Where a teacher appraisal process is already operating in a school, is working well, is consistent with the principles outlined in the Performance Appraisal Scheme for Teachers and Executive Staff Other Than Principals, and is generally proving beneficial to all parties, the school should continue with that process. Successful teacher appraisal in schools requires careful planning, implementation and evaluation.
