Teacher appraisals help to ensure that teachers can continue to grow and improve professionally. This in turn produce quality teachers who in turn produce successful students and productive schools.#EDTE3404

Teacher appraisals are a key component to the development of schools. Appraisals provide a means for teachers to receive the feedback, skills and support they need to carry out their job effectively. #EDTE3404

To become effective teachers we must reflect of our teaching/instruction. We can become better teachers by reflecting on our teaching. @JamesTinacee @KAnneKnight1 @WalshCathy @MissK_Teacher_

@AndreaVeira5 Do you think UWI should offer a B.Ed 60 credit programme in Primary and Secondary Education.

[Verlyn Richards @RichardsVerlyn]

@Shak3Shak3 @AndreaVeira5 I agree. It's either the B.Ed Study or the Practicum. At this level however, I prefer the B.Ed Study as we already did a practical component during the Teacher Education Programme. The B.Ed Study provides a different experience and knowledge.

[Verlyn Richards @RichardsVerlyn]

@AndreaVeira5 As presently constructed, there should not be a practical component to the B.Ed 60 credit programme offered by UWI campuses. The nature of the programme presently does not lend itself to a practical component.#EDTE3404 @javere_steele @jahtesha1 @ottosashac

As a Math teacher, in recent weeks, I have utilized the demonstrator and facilitator teaching styles as these help to promote self-learning and critical thinking skills through multimedia presentations and demonstrations.
