Teacher’s Competency

          Upgrading the instructional competencies of teachers is one of the factors in improving the performance of pupils because whatever substantive knowledge they acquire will definitely be imparted to the pupils.

However, a teacher should know the required standard of instructional competencies and meet these standards or even exceed it. Hence, there should be an assessment of their instructional competencies.

          Through assessment of instructional competencies, the teachers will be guided or assisted to respond to the needs of the school and establish an effective school practices.

          Upgrading teacher’s methods and strategies in teaching will provide adequate instructional materials, visual aids and devices that will challenge the attention of the learners, stimulate thinking, and facilitate understanding which will make learning more meaningful.

          Hence, such upgrading of instructional competencies of teachers will guide education leaders in adopting appropriate and effective implementation of policy. All stakeholders would be able to identify the strength and weakness to improve pupil’s academic achievement, learning outcomes and school performance.
