Registered Teacher Criteria
Workshops 2010
Principles to Consider
• Consistency through education and
communication
• Assess in context of teachers’ daily work
• Systems/evidence required to assess
criteria should be rigorous and robust
• Need to show competence across the
criteria
• Above all collection of evidence should
support professional learning, not
compliance, and be a career long
habit.
Registered Teacher Criteria
Workshops 2010
Appraisal
• Who appraises teachers in your
setting?
• What do they appraise?
• What evidence do they gather?
• What skills are needed by an
appraiser? How are they acquired?
• How do you gain consistency in
judgments about teachers?
(5 minutes )

Dr Cathy Wylie NZCER
The survey indicated that where teachers
‘strongly agree’ that their school had useful
appraisal systems that focused on learning they
also ‘strongly agreed’ that:
• School goals really did guide their day to day work
• They had sufficient time to work together to plan their
teaching and discuss student work
• Departmental meetings were often used to discuss
student achievement and strategies to improve it where
needed
• That good teachers were retained at the school.
(‘Focusing leadership on adult learning: the secondary school
challenge’– based on data from a 2009 national survey of NZ
secondary school teachers).

(e.g. planning, teaching, assessment,
curriculum)
– School/ECE wide responsibilities
(e.g. contribution to curriculum leadership,
pastoral care, community relationships)
– Management responsibilities
(e.g. planning, decision making, professional
leadership, resource management).
