TEACHER ACCOUNTABILITY-EVALUATING OUR PERFORMANCE

In a search for effective strategies for upgrading the academic achievement of our
students, attention is focused on high-priority educational issues such as the advancement
of teacher preparation, the assessment of teaching competence, and the professional
development of teachers. Teacher evaluation, as a means of having an impact on the
instructional process by ensuring teacher competence and promoting professional growth
or change, is now an issue in the federation as a result of the Project Preparation
Activities for the World Bank Project, specifically the committee charged with a proposal
for a Teacher Appraisal System.
