Follow this process to develop your formula
You can use this method to evaluate the quality of teaching across your whole school, or for individual teachers.
- Select a range of factors
- Decide how you'll score each factor
- Give each factor a particular weighting, in the form of a number
- Calculate the score for each factor, and multiply by the weighting
- Add up all the scores to give a numerical value of the quality of teaching
Use a range of factors
There's a large number of factors you can include in your formula, such as:
- The progress made by all groups of pupils
- How teachers engage with, and ensure the progress of, ‘at risk’ groups
- The quality of classroom displays
- Pupils' behaviour in lessons
- The amount of low-level disruption in lessons
- How teachers work with other members of staff
- Lesson planning
- How teachers differentiate or personalise learning in lessons
You could use the results of pupil questionnaires or lesson observations by
