usually is change for the better or for the worse?

I heard the grades are usually set in stone by Nov Dec period?

The org is too top heavy. And too many teacher silent quit after reaching Geo 4/5. So promotion is no longer time based and fast by default. You’ll have to work hard to get your CEP adjusted by being chosen for leadership. Our era really suay lor.

Need to emphasize again, doing one's job according to what one is paid for, is NOT silent quitting.

If they feel that a teacher is underperforming, then it should be reflected through the performance grade

If they want someone to produce B or even A grade work, then be prepared to give the As and Bs accordingly during appraisal

If they expect people to go above and beyond (above C), yet refuse to give due recognition (by awarding better grades), then either there's something wrong with their appraisal system or expectations, likely both.

Which fool want to keep doing things without rewards? Work is not a charity.

Tell that to the younger teachers who criticise older teachers who are performing at a satisfactory level. Why should a HOD who's still getting at least C have to make way for a younger teacher?

From what I see here, not necessarily. I rmb seeing a few months back someone posted similar to yours but started 2017, then 2018 promoted to GEO3. Had a string of Bs and A even but only 2021 then promoted. So if that guy/girl chiong so much and still promoted in 2021 (from 2017), then your chance of promoting this year I think very low ah. Next year maybe got chance but highly likely u need another B, then 2026 promote. That's considered ok already. Some GEO3 here after 7 or 8 years then promote

System down. Can’t check
