Frequency of Appraisal
- Teachers new to the Durham Board will be appraised in their first year of employment with the board.
- Teachers continuously employed by the Durham Board will have an appraisal year in every five year period.
- Teachers who are appraised “At or Above Standard” will have one appraisal in the appraisal year.
- A period when the teacher is on an extended leave that has been approved by the board will not be counted as part of the appraisal cycle.
- If the principal of a school or supervising superintendent considers it advisable to do so, he or she may conduct a performance appraisal of a teacher at any time. The reason for this will be shared with the Federation.
- A teacher may request a performance appraisal in addition to those required, except during his/her appraisal year. The principal shall ordinarily grant the teacher’s request.
