26.6 Summary

• Teacher evaluation is a process or phenomenous to analyse the efficiency of teacher in
various aspects of teaching by student, pears staff etc.
• Teacher evaluation has typically two major purposes. First, it seeks to improve the teacher
own practice by identifying strengths and weaknesses for further professional development
– the improvement function. Second, it is aimed at ensuring that teachers perform at their
best to enhance student learning – the accountability function.
• Educational authorities play a major role in the conception and application of teacher
evaluation, since they set the national learning outcome objectives, agree standards for the
teaching profession and establish the norms that regulate teacher evaluation.
• In many countries education inspectorates take full responsibility for teacher evaluation.
This includes developing teacher evaluation procedures and undertaking individual teacher
evaluations with school inspectors taking the role of evaluators.
• The effective operation of teacher evaluation depends to a great extent on the way the
concept and practice of school leadership is established in schools. The role of school leaders
in teacher evaluation differs across countries.
