Instructional leadership
The document discusses the history and evolution of teacher evaluation and supervision. In the early 2000s, the focus shifted from supervision to evaluation and from teacher behaviors to student achievement. Several studies from the late 2000s criticized prevailing teacher evaluation systems for failing to differentiate teacher performance or provide meaningful feedback. They treated teachers as interchangeable parts rather than professionals. Evaluations were infrequent, conducted by untrained evaluators, and did not identify areas for growth. To improve evaluation systems, student achievement should be linked to evaluations to incentivize teachers' professional development and expertise.

Activities aligned to mission and vision of school
Through engaging activities that encourage student participation, teachers play a crucial part in determining how students learn. This involves giving students the chance to practice skills and show mastery of subject matter through assessment activities, as well as employing guided discovery to encourage students to explore new ideas or concepts. In establishing standards for student performance on exams and utilizing the results of those exams as data points to judge how well students are progressing toward certain goals and objectives within their subject areas, teachers also play a crucial role. Teachers must be dedicated to establishing successful learning e.

This document provides guidance for schools on conducting self-evaluation of teaching and learning as part of a school improvement process. It describes school self-evaluation as a collaborative and reflective process whereby schools evaluate their work, identify strengths and areas for improvement. The key aspects of the process include gathering and analyzing evidence on outcomes, learning and teaching; drawing conclusions; developing an improvement plan; and implementing and monitoring the plan. Schools are advised to start by focusing on a specific area like literacy or numeracy, and to involve teachers, students, parents and leadership in the self-evaluation.
Week 4
This professional development agenda focuses on supporting new teachers. The agenda includes activities to help teachers develop skills in student motivation, classroom management, and meeting diverse learner needs. Teachers will participate in activities to brainstorm student motivation strategies, attend sessions on classroom management topics, and provide feedback through evaluations. The goal is to equip new teachers with skills to enhance student learning and achievement.
An introduction-to-school-self-evaluation-of-teaching-and-learning-in-post-pr...
School self-evaluation (SSE) is a collaborative process where a school evaluates aspects of its work, particularly teaching and learning. It involves gathering evidence from sources like student outcomes and surveys. This evidence is then analyzed against evaluation criteria to identify strengths and areas for development. The school writes a self-evaluation report and improvement plan focusing on developing areas. The plan is implemented and monitored to improve teaching and learning in the school. SSE should involve all teachers and be led by the principal to enhance practice and benefit students.
Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play
Join us for an exciting session with educational thought leader Ray McNulty as he explores what causes one school to become a top performer, while most others seem to struggle with the same challenge. How do some schools seem to meet the needs of their students while others become dropout factories?
The lack of success in most systems isn’t not knowing what to do, but not instituting the needed changes effectively and with fidelity. In this webinar participants will learn about what it takes to become a high-performing education system in today’s rapidly changing world.
