Originally published in 1988, Appraising Teachers in Schools considers and provides advice on the introduction of staff appraisal in schools. Following the publication of the 1987 Pay and Conditions of Employment and written by contributors with practical experience of introducing staff appraisal into schools, the book provides guidance on the introduction of staff appraisal across a range of schools; outlines a planning process for the establishment of staff appraisal; and offers suggestions for how to prepare for the appraisal process. It covers both primary and secondary education in a variety of larger and smaller schools. Appraising Teachers in Schools will appeal to those with an interest in the history of education and the history of staff appraisal in schools in particular.

Les Bell gives practical advice to teachers, looking in particular at planning, staff development and appraisal. The need for effective communication is stressed and the skills required of the successful team leader are explored.

Examines the wider policy environment affecting schools and colleges, exploring the factors that shape policy and the implications of globalization on learning at all levels. This book is aimed at students, practitioners, middle managers and educational leaders in all sectors, who are engaged on masters and doctoral degrees.

This book is an essential purchase for all primary school managers, containing practical guidelines for effective management, whilst also recognising that good management is not an end to itself.
