EVALUATION OF EXPERT TEACHERS AND EVALUATION SY STEM

EVALUATION OF EXPERT TEACHERS

In order to reward and motivate teaching excellence, Cangelosi (1991) suggests summative evaluations based on cost-effective measurements to serve as bases for designing merit-pay programs (based on levels of productivity), and career ladder programs (schemes to enhance teachers opportunities for promotions). The success of these strategies depends on how well the evaluation instruments discriminate meritorious,

excellent instruction from a teaching performance that is merely competent.

EVALUATION OF EXPERT TEACHERS

Summative evaluations for expert teachers are designed to identify exemplary meritorious instruction. This presupposes that they are properly identified and screened. They can be recognized through: Consistent high summative evaluations ratings on classroom performance over a period of 3 years Endorsement from peers (colleagues and professional groups) Fulfillment of higher level credentials (i.e., graduate programs) Scholarly work (research and publications).

EVALUATION SY STEM
The choice of criteria is usually guided by the mission-vision of the school, as well as accepted concepts and principles found in the literature. As a rule, the evaluation system implemented in a school is clearly defined in faculty and administrative manuals.

Evaluation systems include specific elements such as:

Rationale explains the nature, objectives and benefits to be derived from the evaluation system Areas of evaluation identify the different dimensions to be assessed in addition to classroom teaching such as efforts exerted towards professional growth, demonstration of ethical conduct, community involvement and other indicators of what may be considered as going the extra mile

The evaluation procedure specifies the following:
The data-gathering process (including the instruments to be used) The feedback mechanism The needed documents to be submitted to support claims about accomplishments and achievements.

The schedule and frequency of the evaluation The identification of the evaluators (i.e. principal, assistant principal, subject area coordinator) It also explains the way the different criteria will be assessed and the weight apportioned for each criterion
