Analysis of Teaching Excellence and Relevance Management (TERM)

The TERM NINE DIMENSIONS

Zamit, in collaboration with its academic partner QAI UK, was commissioned by The Future Foundation to research and identify essential skills, traits, attributes and capabilities that teachers must possess and enhance while guiding their students for success in the 21^st-century.
A team of over 15 international experts led this initiative, including Teaching professionals at school and university level, psychologists, scholars, subject specialists, English language experts, and training professionals. This team compiled a list of over seventy essential skills, attributes and capabilities for a 21st-century teacher based on comprehensive primary and secondary research. These skills were then categorised into Nine Dimensions, creating the Common International Framework of Reference for Future Readiness (CIFR). The CIFR framework for Teachers is a six-level framework ranging from A1 as the first level to C2 as the expert level, providing a standardised and structured approach to measuring, improving and monitoring the teacher development life-cycle.

The TERM MEASUREMENT FORMAT

The TERM analysis covers the following Nine Dimensions:

• Creativity in teaching and assessment;
• Employability skills for career growth and job satisfaction;
• Professionalism in teaching and management;
• Pedagogy, including innovative teaching and assessment methods;
• Communication, including communication skills with students, parents and colleagues;
• Digital Literacy, including technology-enabled teaching and assessment;
• Mentoring students at all stages of development;
• Emotional competencies as a part of decision-making skills, rapport-building and relationship management
• Social Perception of colleagues, students, school head & supervisor, friends and others.

For Social Perception, the teachers must get feedback from their friends, colleagues, head of the department, supervisor, head of the school and others known to the teacher.
This is based on a questionnaire that is specific to the respondent. This, in turn, is also analysed.
For the Eight Dimensions, the teachers must respond to 120 questions (15 scenario-based questions per dimension). The responses are analysed alongside CIFR.
The TERM Analysis can be completed in one sitting or parts over seven days.
The Teachers can get a progressive report, and once they have completed all the Nine Dimensions, they will get their Final Analysis Report. Any dimension not completed within the stipulated time is assessed with a ‘Zero’ score, leading to a lower TERM Score.
