Como você ajuda os professores a se avaliarem?

The main ways, from my point of view, to evaluate yourself as a teacher are: 1. Did you do during the school year everything you wanted to be taught? 2. What were the results? Did the students learn and understood, if not everything, most of the learning outcomes? 3. Did the student respect you during the whole year? Be careful, not fear you, but respect you. 4. Did the students ask questions? Did the do their homework? Did they answer questions? 5. This is something I always do, before the end of each semester, I ask the students what grade do they expect to see in the report and why. 6. In the end of the year, I ask them to write anonymously a summary of the year and an evaluation of me as a teacher, to self reflect

Create a personal standard aligned with your values. An example would be, if student learning curve matters a lot to you, increases in proficiency for a given duration would be a great target including how fast your students learn the skill from you. Another good example would be approachability. This can be measured by the number of students who voluntarily engages with you in a positive way. You can even qualify the evidences you are looking for.

Measure your own performance according to your Impact on Student Learning. This is first done by measuring the learning curve. How fast did your student increase in skill performance because of your interventions? This also means that the skills needs to be assessed at least 3 times for relatively similar periods of time for the curve to be established.

Use a robust framework for self-evaluation. If students' learning curves are too gradual, a qualitative open-ended questionnaire can be given to students asking how they would like to learn. Based on the feedback from students, the teacher can evaluate their proficiency in the competencies needed to support the way students would like to learn.

Trust is the foundation of all mentorship. Asking a teacher or in fact anyone, to evaluate themselves requires them to trust that any vulnerability they show will not be used to attack them. This is why as a mentor or induction leader, you should show your own vulnerability and your mistakes. If you don't, it will be much harder to get truly candid self-evaluations from a teacher.

In my opinion, aiding teachers in self-evaluation involves offering reflective tools, setting professional development goals, and cultivating open communication for constructive feedback. Utilizing self-assessment surveys, peer observations, and mentorship promotes continuous learning, allowing teachers to assess their strengths and areas for improvement, adapting to evolving educational needs.

There is no one way of evaluating teacher performance. The standards has to be aligned has to reflect the values of the learning institution, the nation, the professional community, the teachers themselves but, most of all, the students. A lot of collaboration and openness has to happen to integrate values. One thing is for sure, the improvement of the learning curve is the basic function of teaching.
