Staff appraisal 2014

During 2014 you will take part in a staff appraisal which is used to help
you become a more effective teacher, which in turn will make us a more
effective department.
You will set clear goals for the year with the HOD and these will be
reviewed once per term.
The headings for your goals will be:

Personal goals (linked to in school professional development)

Teaching goals
Department goals

For new staff members there will be 2 observations during the first term
and one per term thereafter.
For returning staff members there will be one observation per term.

Initial observations shall be conducted by the HOD. Following that the

HOD may delegate to department members to complete an observation
on another department member to be used as professional development
for both parties, and to encourage active professional conversations.
Where possible, teachers will get 1 weeks notice for the observation. As
will staff completing the observation.
Observations will be a whole period in length.
Lesson plans must be typed and handed in 24 hours before the
observation.
Notes from the observation should be typed and handed to the teacher
being observed and also the HOD. The notes from observations shall then
be filled and can be used as part of the RTC teacher registration process.
