Under the trend of education reform, parents, students and the public have paid much attention to the quality and effectiveness of education. Therehas been a lot of discussion on the subject of teachers'professional standards in Taiwan. TheMinistry of Education (MOE) in response to the public's demand for improving education system, had planned the implementation of the “Teachers'Professional Evaluation System" since 2002, with the hopes of improving the quality of education and lifting teachers'professional standards. However the proposed system lacks underlying laws as its foundation. In order to better refine the prospective policy, the MOE resolved to implement a draft version of the proposed policy. Based on the results of the implementation (2006-2009), the MOE will propose to amend the Teacher Law accordingly. Tthrough policy analysis, discussion and dialogue this study intends to analyze the technical validity and feasibility of the “Teachers'Professional Evaluation" system, and its impact on future policy making. |
