Know your teachers PD systems your teachers may not like… School has given us clear and strict rules of evaluation. I have been very well managed, but don’t feel well developed. Evaluation is good, but I found one thing made me not so comfortable. If I couldn’t do well in the evaluation, I will not receive a satisfactory bonus. We had many individual training sessions. As a new teacher, I hope a system can include this together and let me know where I am. Our evaluation system is clear and fair. But we have to input too much details, and contribute too much time in evaluation meetings. Cambridge says… A good PD system aims to improvement rather than holding teachers to account. Systems work much better when they motivate. Program works better than individual activities. The process is manageable and supports teaching rather than becoming a burden that hinders it.
