How to Use This Template
Fill Department Name, Head of Department and Evaluation Period, then write Student Outcomes with data and Quality of Teaching with evidence from observations and work scrutiny — claims need receipts.
Complete Curriculum and Resources honestly (gaps included), and set Improvement Priorities to two or three with measurable goals under each. Name Department Manager and sign off at Review Date. Use the form as the backbone of your department development plan rather than a separate document written for the visit.
