GFCB - Evaluation of Teachers

EVALUATION OF TEACHERS

The School Committee recognizes that the teaching process is extremely complex and the appraisal of this function is an extremely difficult and technical process. Because it is widely

accepted that good teaching is the most important element in the educational program, evaluation of teaching must be accomplished on a continuing and periodic schedule.

Appraisal of teaching services shall serve at least five purposes:

A  To aid the individual teacher to grow professionally;

B  To raise the standards of the teaching profession as a whole;

C.  To raise the quality of instruction and educational services to the children of our

 community;

D. To develop more cooperative and amicable relations between faculty and

 administration; and

E To provide a measure of competency so that school officials and School

Committee members can make better decisions relative to continued

employment.

Therefore, the School Committee delegates to its administrative staff the responsibility of developing, organizing, and implementing a program for evaluating the instructional process

as one means to ensure quality control of instruction.
