Abstract
Education is one of the areas of human activity and organization in any society. Education facilitates the members of a social group or society to acquire learning or socialize themselves as per norms and requirement. Education thus helps to gather knowledge, to keep on civilizing and advancing it more and more to add significantly to the development of the social order.
Teacher plays a central role in the society and acts as the builder of the nation. Majority agree to the fact that highly qualified and effective teachers effect students performance however it is clear that highly qualified doesn't mean highly effective at the same time. A teacher demonstrates under performance when he is unable to control the class, has poor planning, insufficient subject knowledge, uses poor teaching methods, has poor relationship with students and colleagues, lack of commitment and resistance to accept change. It is both the responsibility of the school and the individual to take part in performance assessment.
The responsibility of the Head Teacher is to execute the affairs of school in the maximum benefit of students and the community by attaining objectives of education policy set by higher education authority. Teachers play their unique role in the classrooms to enable students to achieve maximum results and the head teachers are responsible to monitor and measure the achievement of the teachers in terms of expected and real performance. It becomes essential in view the call for quality concern and managing for the satisfaction of stakeholders to know the aspired expectation of head teachers about the colleagues, hence this study has been designed to identify the criteria of expected performance of teachers as perceived and demanded by the head.
