  13. PRINCIPAL’S INSPECTION emphasis is put on: • How the school generally functions • The Principal’s role and contribution towards achieving the aims and objectives set by the school unit

  14. REPORTS (i) PERSONAL INFORMATIVE FORM All teachers fill in the form and submit it through their Principal to their Inspector

  18. TEACHERS ARE APPRAISED IN RELATION TO THEIR: (a) professional training (b) Efficiency at work (c) Organisation - Administration - Human Relations (d) General behaviour & activity

  19. Teachers’ appraisal The Inspector refers to and draws on those criteria, according to his own judgement, in which the teacher distinguishes him/herself to a great extent or does not perform adequately

  20. Special Reports (Type C) • drawn for the first time at the end of the 11th year of service and then every two years • drawn by a team of three Inspectors set by the Inspector General with the approval of the Director of Secondary Education

  22. (iv) Special Reports (Type C) The evaluation of the four criteria in the Special Report is done based on a numeric evaluation from: 1 to 10

  23. TEACHERS’ APPRAISAL • 36 and above→ excellent • 31 - 35 → very good • 26 - 30 → good • 20 - 25 → satisfactory

  24. TEACHERS’ APPRAISAL In the case that in any of the above criteria the grade is below FIVE the teacher’s service is characterised as not satisfactory

  25. REPORTS BASED ON: • Personal Informative Forms filled by teachers • Regular reports submitted by school principals • The Teacher’s personal file & Reports submitted by Inspectors • The Special Report based on the last two regular reports

  26. Regular & Special Reports submitted are signed by the Inspector General and kept in each teacher’s file • In cases of disagreements between the Inspector and the Principal on the content of the Report, the Inspector General steps in

  27. NOTIFICATION of the CONTENT of the REPORT • The content of the Regular Report is not notified to the teacher but grades on individual elements and the overall grade can be given if asked by the teacher

  28. NOTIFICATION of the CONTENT of the REPORT • If a teacher is critisised in a Report for omissions or improper behaviour during the performance of his duties, then the Inspector is obliged to forward this part of the report to the teacher at the time he/she submits the report.

  29. OBJECTIONS • The teacher through an application may ask for deletion or modification of part of the Report which is notified to him/her or the amendment of his/her grade

  30. OBJECTIONS • The application addressed to the Inspector General must refer to the reasons on which the objection is based and must be forwarded within 15 days from the date the Report was sent to the teacher.

  31. OBJECTIONS • Once the Inspector General studies the objection, he can suggest to the Director of Secondary Education the acceptance or rejection of the objection. • The Director can accept or not his suggestion

  32. OBJECTIONS • In case of acceptance, the report is amended accordingly and signed by the Director of Secondary Education, giving a summarised justification • Once the procedure is finalised, the teacher is informed in written on the result of his/her objection

  33. TEACHERS DISTINGUISHED • The majority of teachers are neither characterised as excellent or inadequate • A teacher is characterised excellent in one domain if he/she is excellent in all or most of the elements which concise this domain

  34. TEACHERS DISTINGUISHED • Few are the ones that stand out from the rest and they are the ones that are characterised by zeal and enthusiasm in the exercise of their work. They are the key figures of their school, they are respected both by their colleagues and within the community.

  35. TEACHERS DISTINGUISHED • Especially in the 4th domain: ‘General behaviour & activity’ a teacher cannot be distinguished unless he/she contributes with his/her work, actions & example towards the achievement of the educational aims & in the creation of democratic citizens who respect the laws of the country.
