  Appraisal and staff development form an integral part of the range of accountability measures now operating in schools. Cyril and Doreen Poster look at the purpose of appraisal, and its importance within the context of the school effectiveness movement. They stress that the central concern must be the personal and professional development of the participants. Appraisal should help teachers to assess their own performance, thereby enabling them to raise the standard of what goes on in the classroom and in the school. The text contains training material, dealing in detail with classroom performance, goal-setting, the appraisal interview, interviewing skills, headteacher appraisal, the appraisal of managerial skills and the role in appraisal of governors and advisers. There are also case studies and questionnaires.

  This second edition of the Posters' highly successful guide to teacher appraisal has been substantially updated to include the definitive Department For Education (DFE) regulations and guidelines which have appeared since the publication of the first edition. The book includes two completely new chapters, on the new regulations as they affect grant-maintained schools and on developments in Northern Ireland and Scotland. 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 headteachers' appraisal.
