If you are a school leader

Making sure teachers are evaluated is one of your duties under regulation 18 of the Education Regulations.

If you are an education officer

The Senior Education Officer job description asks for expert knowledge of the Education (Teachers Evaluation) Regulations 2007. Your guide says that in supportive supervision, appraisal moves beyond checking compliance to helping people grow.
