Description

This guide to evaluating teaching personnel is a great tool for busy supervisors who use the evaluation process as an opportunity to recognize teachers for their strengths and as an opportunity to identify ways to improve. The book contains information on all the recent developments in education and specifies what the evaluator must look for during the classroom observation, during the teacher interview, and/or while reviewing the teacher's portfolio. The guide features nearly 50 observation checklists in order to allow the evaluator to add or modify certain statements.

Reviews

[This] evaluation guide [will] become a necessity in the implementation of a teacher evaluation program. By developing a chart for each element of the program, this document [will] become essential to supervisors, but also to teachers during their evaluation. -- Maurice Langlais, director of education, School District 1, (Moncton, Fredericton and Saint John regions), New Brunswick
The evaluation and observation charts found in this book allow a more detailed evaluation while reducing the work-load. It also initiates discussion for the preparation of the teacher's professional growth and development plan. -- Luc Michaud, principal, Louis J. Robichaud High School, Shdiac, New Brunswick
[This book] is an excellent resource for supervisors. It helps clarify and interpret the elements of each component. It provides tools and possible solutions to help the teacher master specific objectives. This guide also helps supervisors prepare a more detailed evaluation report. It is as important for the teacher being evaluated as it is for the supervisor. I recommend this guide to everyone who shares the importance of evaluation. It is a tool needed to effectively complete evaluation duties... [and] a valuable pedagogical resource. -- Philippe Cyr, science department head, Louis J. Robichaud High School, Shdiac, New Brunswick
