Abstract: ABSTRACT This study examines the perceptions of teachers towards the possible implementation of a formal appraisal system in a school in Hong Kong. The literature review on the purposes and outcomes of appraisal, the relationship and tensions between appraisal and professional development provides the conceptual framework for the research and the basis for the formulation of the research questions. Data were obtained from various sources including a set of questionnaire distributed to 50 teachers in the school under study, semi-structured interviews with five chosen teachers and participant observation made by the researcher. All these data were compared and analyzed. Research findings showed that teachers perceived appraisal to be for professional development, promotion and for the school authority to monitor teachers' performance. However, the school management perceived appraisal to be solely for teachers' professional development and school improvement. Teachers also perceived that there were tensions between the purposes of professional development and accountability, but clearly identified appraisal purposes before ithe implementation of it could help reduce the tensions. Almost all the teachers agreed a formal appraisal system was necessary in the school. Teachers were usually concerned about the way appraisal would be conducted and whether the system would be fair and open whereas the school management was concerned about the readiness and acceptance of teachers towards appraisal. Both teachers and the principal regarded lesson observation very significant in appraisal. Most teachers chose the subject panel heads and the principal to be the appraisers instead of their peers. Data also indicated that there was a discrepancy on the expected usage of the appraisal results between the teachers and the principal. Nonetheless, both parties regarded the benefits of appraisal to be teachers' professional development and improvement in student's learning. Finally, it is hoped that the research findings on the teachers' perceptions towards the introduction of appraisal can have some practical implications for the implementation of a formal appraisal system and the design of appropriate professional development activities in the local context. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3763874 Subjects: High school teachers - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes High school teachers - Rating of - China - Hong Kong Teacher effectiveness - China - Hong Kong

Teacher appraisal is one of the required features under SBM for enhancing teachers' development and students' learning. Teacher appraisal of accountability model is a traditionally dominated practice in Hong Kong. Different researchers have advocated teacher appraisal of development model in recent years. This study examines the effectiveness of developmental teacher appraisal, with a case in a Hong Kong aided school. With the help of teacher survey, teacher interviews, school principal's interviews and the observation of the writer, the exploration of effectiveness of developmental teacher appraisal is categorised into four levels. Teachers' perception towards developmental teacher appraisal is the first level of investigation. The function of developmental teacher appraisal for identification of teachers' strengths and weakness is the second level of investigation. The influence of developmental teacher appraisal on teachers' attitude and behaviour is the third level of examination. The eventual effect of developmental teacher appraisal to teaching performance and students' learning outcome is the fourth ilevel of examination of the study. In addition to the scrutiny of effectiveness of developmental teacher appraisal at different levels, the opinions of teachers in comparing the relative effectiveness of teacher appraisal of developmental model and accountability model is analysed. The findings show that developmental teacher appraisal can get high degree of acceptance of teachers with their extensive participation in preparation process. By the help of appropriate evaluation tools, such as self-assessment, peer-review and students' questionnaires, developmental teacher appraisal can effectively assist the majority of teachers to identify their strong and weak points and also influence their attitude and behaviour to a certain extent. However, the function of developmental teacher appraisal on enhancing teaching performance and students' learning outcome is less significant, due to a variety of practical problems. The research result also indicates developmental teacher appraisal is much more popular than accountability teacher appraisal among teachers, in consideration of the usefulness, objectivity, fairness and other factors. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b2767791 Subjects: High school teachers - Rating of - China - Hong Kong High school teachers - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes

Book excerpt: In light of recent sociological events and the COVID-19 pandemic, education has undergone an incredible change in both policy and delivery. As a result, many educators have sought different career paths. It is essential to maintain a concentrated effort to retain educators; however, recruiting teachers into the profession is only one area of focus; there must be intentional support for teacher development along the educator continuum in order to sustain the profession through institutional struggles. The Handbook of Research on the Educator Continuum and Development of Teachers expands on the body of research related to the educator continuum with a holistic view of teacher development. This book combines theory, concepts, and research studies that pinpoint facets of the educator continuum, providing researchers with scholarly contributions that advance the profession. Covering topics such as instructional coaching, special educator career development, and teacher retention, this major reference work is a valuable resource for educational faculty and administration, teacher colleges, educators of K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, government officials, teacher education administrators, libraries, researchers, and academicians.

Book excerpt: The development and implementation of an accurate teacher evaluation system continues to be a controversial topic in public education. Educational researchers study a variety of teacher evaluation systems searching for a fair and balanced method. Policy makers searching for an accurate form of evaluation believe that student achievement data should be included in teacher evaluations. Performance- Based evaluation was created in order to test the effectiveness of teachers and hold them accountable for student achievement, but questions continue to arise as to the validity of this evaluation method. This study examined the perceptions of elementary school teachers on performance-based evaluation. Four research questions were developed based on the components of performance-based evaluation. Nine interview questions were generated to investigate teacher perceptions of teacher evaluation and student achievement, sources of information for teacher evaluation, the accuracy of performance-based evaluation, and types of teacher incentives that may be included as part of performance-based evaluation. Four teachers, two of which currently participate in performance-based evaluations were interviewed. Their responses were coded to discover overarching themes and commonalities. Through the analysis of the responses, this researcher found that teachers are searching for a fair and balanced method of teacher evaluation and believe that performance-based evaluation could be the answer, if it is implemented correctly.
