3.5.1 Purpose
Teacher records are individual records that include information about the
personal and academic details of teachers in a school, and particulars about
their previous work experiences and current responsibilities (see example 5).
Like student records, teacher records can incorporate key results from
periodic evaluations of each teacher’s performance. information about pre-
service and in-ser- vice teacher training each teacher has received, as well as
plans for future career development may also be included in the teacher’s
record.
Teacher records are created when a new teacher joins a school. The school
manager is responsible for ensuring that the record is complete and the
information is correct and accurate, before valida- tion for the teacher record
to be maintained at the school and the information entered into the
computerized teacher database. The same procedure applies when
information updates and new performance evaluation results are added to the
record. Teacher records are used by school manag- ers and education
administrators at district/provincial level and/or the Ministry of education to
man- age the assignments, working conditions, transfers, promotions, in-
service training, discipline and career development opportunities for teachers.
Teacher records are confidentially kept in the school management office, and
continuously updated when new information or performance evaluation results
become available. if possible, all or part of the information in teacher records
can also be entered into computerized storage in a teacher database either at
the school or at the Ministry of education. Some countries have a central
teacher service register that can be used to facilitate sorting, searching,
retrieval, processing and use of the information about teachers. When a
teacher retires, resigns, dies or transfers out of the school, the teacher’s
record can be archived, but should not be destroyed
