Creating metrics to evaluate the quality of teaching
The ProgressTeaching platform allows you to apply ratings to individual Habits as part of your feedback. It is important to note that the platform will never give an overall rating on a piece of feedback. The purpose of evaluating Habits, or aspects of pedagogy, is to identify areas of strength and areas for improvement at individual, team, whole school and even trust level. Using ratings is intended to inform your teaching and learning and CPD strategy as well as raise great questions that might not otherwise come to light.
You can have up to four ratings and can assign them values of 3, 2, 1, or 0. To enable accurate reporting, we recommend these are configured such that 2 is the value given to the rating at which a teacher will have met an expected standard.
