In Ontario, teachers are evaluated based on a system called
Teacher Performance Appraisal (TPA). This system is split into two categories,one for ‘new’ teachers and one for ‘experienced’ teachers, and is designed topromote teacher development, promote meaningful assessments of teachers’performance that encourage professional learning and growth, identifyopportunities for additional support where required, and provide a measure ofaccountability to the public. New teachers are all teachers hired permanently
for the first time, while experienced teachers are those who have passed the
NTIP or worked prior to their current hired position.
