Contained in this bundle are all of the teacher performance grids, (lesson observations, book monitoring, and pupil progress) in addition to the teacher quality trackers. Used in combination, these resources enable school leaders and data managers to easily and precisely monitor teacher quality over time. The Teacher Performance Grids contain: 1.) Observation & Learning Walk Performance Grid 2.) Marking and Feedback Performance Grid 3.) Pupil Progress Performance Grid For use alongside lesson observations, learning walks, book monitoring, and discussions about pupil progress, these succinct performance grids enable observers to gauge, categorise, and feedback on teaching and learning using OFSTED guidance for effective teaching. The documents provide descriptors of 'outstanding', 'good', 'requires improvement' and 'inadequate' practice within appropriately considered teaching and learning focus areas, for example: Questioning, Positive Feedback, Use of Additional Adults, Noticing Data Trends and Plotting Interventions etc. Schools who opt to grade individual teachers on their performance have noted that these are helpful aids in arriving at an overall judgement. The Teacher Quality Trackers allow teaching and learning leaders to monitor the quality of teaching across their departments/ schools over time, focusing on the triangulated performance indicators of: Lesson Observations/Learning Walks, Book/Folder Monitoring, and Pupil Progress. Users can easily view changes in individual, department, key stage, and whole school teaching and learning quality over time. The tools are automatically formatted to colour code entries from the codes 1 (Outstanding = Green) to 4 (Inadequate = Red) Each entry also updates the 'average school performance' table, which in turn alters the line graph showing quality over time. This enables leaders to easily identify trends in performance data. Furthermore, there is also space in which users can give details of CPD sessions and interventions, in order to a provide a foundation to evaluate their impact. Individual pages are provided for observations, book monitoring, and pupil progress. '3 captures per year' and '6 captures per year' versions are provided, to allow for schools that measure quality at variable intervals.
