August 6, 2024 WHAT IS A RECORD OF WORK BOOK?
It is a reference document.
It is the permanent record of the teacher’s progress in the
scheme of work
A record of work book is an official document which registers
information after the teaching/learning process in a class within a given period of time THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RECORD OF WORK BOOK
TO THE TEACHERS It indicates the work done by the teacher. It provides for continuity for the old as well as the new teacher. It helps the teacher to easily recognise problem areas after evaluation of the students, hence easing remedial lessons. It acts as a defence or cover for the teacher TO THE INSPECTOR
It provides a good background for the
appreciation of a teacher by the inspector even in the teacher’s absence. TO THE ADMINISTRATION It provides a good follow up of a teacher in terms of hour and work coverage. It enables the administration to know the teacher’s input, when and how it has been done thereby helping them to fill the teacher’s mark sheet. The record of work book enables the VP / Dean of studies to check if a teacher is effectively teaching or not. It gives the teacher credit at all levels because it shows how practical, professional, assiduous and serious he/she is. The record of work book provides a good basis for the proposals for the duty posts for the teacher. It helps the VP to calculate work coverage of every teacher. WHAT WE FIND IN IT
