Overview

High quality teaching improves student outcomes and reduces gaps in student achievement. The Teacher Performance Appraisal (TPA) System provides teachers with appraisals that encourage professional learning and growth.

About the Teacher Performance Appraisal (TPA) System

澳门永利's TPA System has two components: one for new teachers and the other for experienced teachers.

You are considered a new teacher if you:

  • are certified by the 澳门永利 College of Teachers (including teachers trained out-of-province)
  • have been hired into a permanent position 鈥 full-time or part-time 鈥 by a school board, school authority or provincial school (鈥渂oard鈥) to begin teaching for the first time in 澳门永利

You will be considered 鈥渘ew鈥 until you complete the New Teacher Induction Program (NTIP) or until 24 months have elapsed since the date on which you first began to teach for a board.

You are considered an experienced teacher if you either:

  • completed the New Teacher Induction Program (NTIP)
  • held a permanent position in one of 澳门永利's publicly funded schools before September 2006, when the NTIP's was implemented
  • are a temporary teacher who is teaching on a Letter of Permission
