One of the most widespread complaints so far is the lack of time to observe experienced teachers before plunging into the job.

A protocol for peer assessment by observing teachers at work was also designed.

Not extra holiday, but time when that teacher could become properly refreshed, by studying teaching theory, perhaps, and observing other teachers in practice.

Controversial rules restricting the amount of time that heads can observe teachers in the classroom will be removed, giving schools more freedom to monitor staff.

Head teachers are also banned from formally observing teachers in the classroom for more than three hours in one academic year.

I observe teachers every day working hard and trying to make a difference.

What I support is a sound evaluation system where supervisors and principals formally and informally observe teachers.

Newly assigned principals had to observe teachers five times each and recommend if any should be removed.

The three-hour limit on observing teachers in the classroom will also be scrapped, to allow schools to decide on observation times.

This seems to be defined as insisting on a specific teaching paradigm and the practice of observing teachers.
