AN APPRAISAL FOR THE TEACHER

In Education + Training (July‐August 1987) I reviewed two publications, one from Croydon and the other from Suffolk, which dealt with pupil and teacher appraisal. Here are two more publications from the same sources that deal with the same problem. In addition there are three other publications on the subject. They all bear witness to this important issue that is likely to assume greater prominence in the near future. It behoves all of us then to inform ourselves and come to our own conclusions. The striking thing about these five titles is the unanimity of views expressed, but I will come back to that later.
