2. INTRODUCTION TO EVALUATION
• Evaluation in education is the process of judging the
effectiveness of educational experiences through careful
appraisal, it is a process by which those concerned with goals,
processes and program may collect data, make judgments and
revise as necessary. It looks at original objectives, and at what
are either predicted or what was accomplished and how it was
accomplished.
• Teacher evaluation can be defined as the systematic
assessment of a teacher's performance and/or qualification in
relation to the teacher's defined professional role and the
institution's mission.

3. DEFINITION OF EVALUATION
• Evaluation involves assessing the strength and weakness of
program, policy and personnel, products and organization to
improve their effectiveness.

4. PURPOSES OF TEACHER EVALUATION
According to The American Commission on Teacher Education,
'The quality of a nation depends upon the quality of its citizens.
The quality of its citizens depends not exclusively, but in critical
measure upon the quality of their education, the quality of their
education depends more than upon any single factor, upon the
quality of their teacher' .

5. The following are the specific purposes of teacher evaluation:
• Helping faculty to improve their performance.
• Making decisions about confirmation or extension of
probation and promotion.
• Identifying the expertise of the faculty for deputation of
conferences, seminars, workshops and summer institutes and
assignment of co-curricular activities.
• Conducting action research on the factors related to faculty
performance.

6. THE TECHNIQUES OF EVALUATION
• Observation of classes
• Questionnaires or checklists
• Interviews
• Peer evaluation
• Student evaluation
• Discussion groups

7. INDICATORS FOR TEACHER EVALUATION
• Quality of teaching
• Examination results
• Students’ attendance
• Promoting library interest
• Relationship with students
• Academic growth
• Innovativeness
• Co-curricular activities
• Develop special teaching materials
• Acquisition of additional qualifications

8. METHODS OF EVALUATION
To achieve educational goals, evaluators must first set specific
procedures and standards. The standards should:
• Relate to important teaching skills.
• Be as objective as possible.
• Be linked to the teacher's professional development.

9. Some procedures that evaluators can use are:
• Observe classroom activities
• Review lesson plans and classroom records
• Expand the number of people involved in the evaluations

10. AGENCIES FOR TEACHER EVALUATION
There are four recognized sources of evaluation.
The self, head, peer and students.

11. SELF-EVALUATION
• Self-evaluation is often considered as the best mode of
evaluation. Teachers monitor their own behavior in relation to
goals, expectations and outcomes. They are also more likely to
act in self-gained data than on information from other sources.
• Teachers need to show their students that it is important for
everybody to self-evaluate by doing their own self-evaluations.
• One thing teachers can do is to ask their students for feedback
on how the class is going and what the teacher is doing well
and not so well. In this way the teacher is showing that they
want to make improvements where needed.

12. • In self-evaluation, the teacher gets an opportunity to think,
reflect and write down the problems and constraints, which
come in the way of his/her effective functioning. The different
remedial measures which could be taken and the changes
which can be brought about in school organization for
improving on-the-job performance of teachers can be
emphasized. Teachers get a chance to predict their main targets
for the coming year and think about their career advancement.

13. PEER EVALUATION
• Peer evaluation is a process in which teachers use their own
direct knowledge and experience to examine and judge the
merit and value of another teacher's practice.
• The term 'peer' means that teachers in both roles are
equivalent in assignment, training, experience, perspective and
information about the setting for the practice under evaluation.
• It is the evaluation of work by one or more people of similar
competence to the producers of the work.

14. • Peer evaluation means, for example, that a 1st year teacher is
evaluated by another 1st year class teacher of similar
experience and training, who knows students and school
conditions of the teacher being assessed.

16. ADVANTAGES OF PEER EVALUATION
• Teacher colleagues are familiar with institutional goals, values
and problems. They know the subject matter, curriculum,
instruction materials. At the same time, they are aware of actual
demands, limitations and opportunities that teacher face.
• Teachers in the same subject area can give highly specific
feedback. For example, at the 1st year, an anatomy teacher is able
to recognize different techniques and strategies for balancing
student learning of facts, concepts and scientific processes. It
requires a practicing anatomy teacher to identify the pros and
cons of teacher.

17. DISADVANTAGES OF PEER EVALUATION
• There could be a possibility that the present group of teachers
may not be interested to participate in peer evaluation as they
may prefer to avoid the responsibility and prefer to leave the
task to others.
• Teachers may also have doubts about their own training and
abilities for peer evaluation.

18. EVALUATION BY THE HEAD
In all the hierarchical and bureaucratic organizations it is the superior or the boss who
evaluates the subordinates. The following considerations can be helpful for evaluating
teacher performance by head of the institution:
• Knowledge of content
• Knowledge of age group
• Clarity of goals
• Balance of resources for teaching goals
• Resources for students
• Learning activities
• Materials and resources
• Instructional groups
• Lesson and unit structure
• Criteria and standards assessment
• Matches goals
• The assessment used for planning.

19. EVALUATION BY STUDENTS
Students are the main source of information about the
accomplishment of important educational goals, such as the
development of motivation for continued learning and areas of
rapport, degrees of communication and the existence of problems
between instructors and students. This information can help
teachers as well as educational researchers describe and define
the learning environment more correctly and objectively than
they could through other types of measurements.
