BETTER TEACHER APPRAISAL AND FEEDBACK:
On Monday 1st August, 2011, Dr Ben Jensen delivered a presentation relating to his recent paper “Better Teacher Appraisal and Feedback: Improving Performance”.
Ben, currently the Director of the school education program at the Grattan Institute, spent five years at the OECD Education Directorate where he analysed effective education policies and programs developed in OECD countries. Much of Ben’s work concentrated on effective teaching practices, teacher management and school leadership, exploring their effect on school outcomes.
