Should I Start with 360-Degree Appraisals for School Staff, or Use a Simple Rating Scale? Seeking Advice

Dear all,

Warm greetings. I am working with a reputed international school with about 250 staff. I started working on developing an appraisal system for the school and think a 360-degree approach is the best one.

My question is, as I am going for the appraisals for the first time, is it good to start with 360 degrees, or should I begin with a normal rating scale appraisal? If so, can anyone assist me in developing the format for school staff?

Thank you.

Yours,

Dear Vamsigyandev,

Have you arrived with your idea? I am working on the same concept for a UGC-funded project.

Hi Vamsigyandev!

Just came across your query. In case you are still looking for literature on the same, there is a book called "360 Degree Feedback and Performance Management System, Vol-2." This is a publication of TV Rao Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd., Excel Books. The book contains an amazing study/article on assessing teachers and teaching effectiveness.

Unfortunately, I do not have the soft copy for this.

Regards,
Neha.
