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

Abstract: ABSTRACT Staff appraisal was introduced to Hong Kong secondary schools participating in the School Management Initiative (SMI) from 1991 onwards. However, from the evaluation of the SMI done in 1994, the responses from schools were quite 'negative'. After nearly 10 years, has any change happened to the point of view of teachers? This study provides an overview of teacher perceptions on appraisal system in a Hong Kong secondary school. A questionnaire was developed to measure the general teachers' beliefs about teacher appraisal. In the questionnaire, data about teachers' recent experiences of appraisal were collected from 70 teachers who had completed at least one appraisal cycle. Then, a teacher survey was conducted with 9 teachers to further investigate the reasons about the results collected in the questionnaire. The dialogue in the interview was taped. Finally, writer as a teacher in the school also acted as an insider to give an overview on appraisal in the school. The findings show that the teachers in the school generally show 'positive' feeling ion teacher appraisal. From the aspect of teaching, teachers think that the teaching improvements are not significant after lesson observation in appraisal. They agree that the discussion with panel heads after lesson observation is beneficial to them about teaching but the number of post-observations is not sufficient. Concerning the various means of appraisal, teachers generally accept traditional methods like lesson observation, interview with panel head and principal and students' academic performance, but they do not accept 'peer observation', 'students' questionnaires and comments from parents. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3571660 Subjects: High school teachers - Rating of - China - Hong Kong High school teachers - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appraisal system and perceptions surrounding the appraisal system in a medium sized suburban school district in southeast Texas were examined in this investigation. The specific purpose of this study was to reveal how administrator perceptions influence the appraisal process. Information gained from this study may be helpful in determining the validity of the appraisal instrument regarding teacher effectiveness as well as its use as a predictor of student achievement. In addition, results of the study may influence related research concerning evaluation and supervision and the extent to which the current evaluation system serves its intended purpose. A descriptive analysis of both survey results and interview responses served to identify administrator perceptions regarding the appraisal process and how those perceptions influenced the implementation of the appraisal instrument. Recommendations for campus and district leaders for improving the implementation of the appraisal process are included in this study. Recommendations include examining models that work in neighboring districts and across the state and nation in order to make change based on those findings. Furthermore, central administration must create a vision that provides a clearly defined purpose for the teacher appraisal process. Campus leadership must be provided the training and the support to implement the district's vision. A system of accountability must be developed in order to ensure consistency among campus leadership teams across the district.
