What competencies will new teachers be assessed on and can boards assess new teachers on additional competencies?
There are 16 competency statements set out in Ontario Regulation 99/02, as amended. The appraisal process for new teachers allows teachers and principals to focus on a subset of eight competencies, as a minimum, for the focus of the performance appraisal of a new teacher. These are set out in schedule 2 of Ontario Regulation 99/02. Boards may also choose to evaluate teachers on additional competencies.
