GRADING OF TEACHERS
New System Proposed (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND. August 22. Some new way of grading teachers needed to be found, the Director of Education ( Mr A. E. Campbell) told the Post-Primary Teachers’ Association in Auckland today. A conference would be called soon to devise a scheme to replace the present "outmoded and wasteful arrangement,” said Mr Campbell. No details had yet been worked out and many problems remained to be solved.
Grading teachers now took up a lot of time by inspectors, who were called upon to sit in judgment on their colleagues and award marks which governed salaries. It was not easy for inspectors to reconcile this judicial function with their advisory ones. Inspectors’ feelings were that they would like to see their grading work cut back to an essential minimum but done fairly and thoroughly, Mr Campbell said.
