Abstract
Like many other roles of the inspector, the assessor/reflective variable has been investigated in the field of supervision: specifically, the dual role that poses a real dilemma for the inspector as a supervisor and for the teachers as advisee. Teachers expect the inspector to be a democratic leader (reflective friend), while the inspector's status, his job description, and requirements with in the educational hierarchy urges him to be a leader, exercising his authority privileging bureaucratic consideration .However, little interest has been given to explore the nature of the relationship between the inspector and its impact on the teacher's classroom performance. The current study was conducted to provide a better understanding of the nature of this relationship and its impact on teachers' development and its importance in the teaching training process. The prime aim of the research was to discover the reasons behind teachers' assumption that the inspector is merely an authoritative assessor .With in this research study we provide an overview of the current trends and practices in assessing teachers, raising important questions about the accuracy, fairness, and usefulness of these evaluations. We also examined recent supervision techniques, emphasizing the distinction between prescriptive and clinical supervision and their connections to teachers' professional development. The research work explores various alternative evaluation models. For data collection, a quantitative methodology was opted for. Using the likert scale of measurement. The study took place in Constantine schools including 90 teachers of English: primary middle and secondary school teachers with different profiles, newly appointed, principles, and trainers . The research focuses on four key issues: (I) coexistence of teacher development and judgment (2) supervision versus evaluation; (3) utility of evaluation in improving iv
teaching; (4) the implementation of effective observation tools in conjunction with educative feedback for better teacher classroom performance .
