  4. Key Features of Effective Performance Appraisal • Reflection and goal setting – central to the development of a self-regulated learning capacity and assists to identify what teachers need to do to improve their practice • Professional learning and practice – PL enhances teachers’ knowledge and skills, leading to improved teaching which raises student achievement • Feedback and review - have a strong influence on teachers, increasing job satisfaction and improving teaching practice

  5. Teacher performance improves when the following conditions are present: • opportunities for teacher self-reflection and goal setting; • regular classroom observation and the provision of constructive feedback from school leaders or managers and peers; • frequent feedback on classroom performance as an ongoing dialogue not an annual discussion; • shadowing, coaching and mentoring from peers and leaders; • opportunities to contribute to and engage in teamwork, collaboration and action learning with other teachers.

  6. Key Features of Effective Performance Appraisal • 1. Reflection and goal setting • Coaching model • Teacher Development Plan

  7. "Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them" Tim Gallwey

  8. “The school has a strong professional learning program – the coaching and ARM being part of this. I have found the contact I have had with my coach to be very helpful. I feel I can be transparent about my teaching practices and areas of need and I have gained some useful advice and strategies to try, in order to enhance and improve my classroom practice. TCC has regular classroom observations in order to provide feedback and I am sure that the feedback will prove invaluable when it is my turn to be observed.”
