FACULTY / STAFF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

1. Objectives

To develop staff-competencies and self improvement through performance appraisal

2. Need Addressed & The Context

Teacher development is not taken seriously because the feedback of stakeholders is seldom obtained. The need addressed, therefore is to provide teachers an opportunity to look at themselves through the eyes of learners. The practice addresses the need to make pedagogy optimally effective and to streamline administrative functions to become more efficient.

3. The practice

Every teacher is evaluated by students based on punctuality, teaching methods, interest in teaching, ability to teach and make classes interesting (theory and practical) and evaluate properly and give feedback, up gradation of knowledge, response to student problems, mentoring, participation and co-operation in organizing co-curricular and extra curricular activities, etc. Self-appraisals, peer appraisals and student appraisals of the performance of faculty and non-teaching staff are made with the use of instruments developed for the purpose (questionnaires) physically or through Google forms. The results obtained from a meticulous analysis and interpretation of feedback is quantified for histogramic display. The Principal of the college discusses the results of the student evaluation of each teacher by meeting the teacher and discussing his/her weaknesses and strengths confidentially. Feedback is given to the assesees confidentially and follow-up strategies are devised accordingly.

4. Evidence of Success

The results of the evaluation are not used to victimize the teacher but the Principal and other authorities advise the teacher to improve performance. Improvement in the performance of teachers, and awareness of institutional goals among members could be observed. Improvement of teamwork and enhancement of overall performance in every sphere of activity are also evidence of success.

5. Limitations &Resources

Only Human Resources – Leadership, Questionnaires and computer and staff to analyse data.
