This second edition of the Posters' guide to teacher appraisal has been substantially updated to include the definitive Department For Education (DFE) regulations and guidelines which have appeared since the first edition was published. The text includes new chapters on the regulations and their implication, on task observation and data collection, on the appraisal statement and on appraisal in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The authors have orientated their work much more to schools, providing updated versions of their valuable training materials for school-based INSET, group work, and self-study. This second edition also includes research evidence from trials of headteacher appraisal.
