This document discusses the "teaching as inquiry" framework for teacher appraisal. It emphasizes reflection on students' learning needs and a teacher's own professional growth. Teachers are encouraged to formulate inquiries by examining data on student learning and identifying areas for improvement. The inquiries should be proactive, solution-seeking, and avoid blaming others. Evidence from multiple sources is needed to show how a teacher's professional practice meets registered teacher criteria. A successful inquiry will be aligned to school and student needs, reference the teaching as inquiry process, and embed teacher standards through self-reflection and collaboration with colleagues.
