staff fairly?

5. Three effective methods of evaluation
1. Use of assessment data
Review pupil assessment
data to see levels of
attainment.
Which teachers support
their pupils to achieve
improved results

Multiple years of
assessment data should be
considered.
This is an objective and fact-

2. Classroom observation
Observe lessons to view
the learning environment
that a teacher creates.
Conduct multiple lesson
observations to judge
them fairly.
Observations must
consider variables such as
subjects, age range and
class size.

3. Pupil voice
Increasingly important,

using pupil focus groups
as a way to learn more
about their school
experience.

lesson observation and
data assessment
Valuable criticisms from
pupils
