Question: What is one
tool, not used very often, for teacher evaluation?
Answer/Quote: “Since the
teacher has such an important influence in the classroom, he must be willing to
examine his own teaching behavior. At the same time he must be a part of an
environment which fosters this desire for self-analysis, and he must be made
cognizant of appropriate tools with which to make this self-appraisal.” P. 85.
Comment: This is an old article, so please excuse the
sexist language. The article shows how teacher self-reflection as part of
teacher observation and evaluation has been around quite a while. I think
teacher self-reflection is an important part of improving instruction. I regret
not doing it as an active teacher. I think I might have been a much better
teacher if I had. RayS.
