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

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

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the introduction of the Race to the Top initiative in 2009, many states and school districts have rapidly modified their teacher evaluation models in order to hold teachers accountable for student learning and meet federal mandates. Through evaluative feedback and professional learning, the intended outcome in many districts is improved instructional practices by ensuring quality teachers in every classroom. Due to these changes, this phenomenological study sought to understand how teachers experience a reformed evaluation system and their perception of changes in their practice as a result of teacher evaluation. This study found that while teachers have varying experiences with reformed teacher evaluation within one school district, there are components of evaluation that lead to teacher change in practice. Teachers desire feedback that helps them reflect on their practice or try something new in their classroom. By setting a meaningful annual goal for their evaluation, teachers had a focal point for the year and something to work towards which often lead them to refine or make changes to their instruction. Through a survey and teacher interviews, this study contributes to the academic literature by demonstrating that teacher evaluation can result in more than simply accountability; it has the potential to bring about change for teachers if the right conditions are in place through the evaluation process.
