ETF webinar on assessment of teachers' and trainers' performance

ETF webinar on assessment of teachers' and trainers' performance

After the webinar on self-assessment of schools (LINK), on graduate tracking (LINK), as well as on peer visits as external evaluation tool (LINK), the ETF Quality Assurance Forum held a webinar dedicated to teachers' and trainers' performance, on 20 April 2021.

The policy area of teachers and trainers can be approached from different perspectives: becoming a teacher or a trainer, developing their competences and assessing their performance. The webinar focused on the latter aspect.

Most of the ETF partner countries are reforming their systems by adopting outcome-based learning approaches, new learning/ training modalities involving employers (WBL), modular systems, etc. These reforms are not only impacting the work of trainers and teachers but they are changing their roles.

Moreover, changing teaching and learning environments, as well as the changing needs of the labour market mean that VET teachers need to continuously develop their skills. Finally, VET teachers have to exploit new approaches to teaching, such as the use of virtual/augmented reality.  

Without a proper assessment of teachers and trainers performance, their needs in terms of continuous professional development and the support they might require to fulfil their duties can hardly be identified and addressed.
