4. Marginal Teachers
►Are teachers who are no
longer neophytes but whose
teaching competence
remains unsatisfactory and
are, therefore, considered
for dismissal.

Jens
Martensson
What are the rights and responsibilities of the administrator?
1. To see to it that competent instructional supervision and
formative evaluations are made available to the teacher in
preparation for summative evaluation.
2. To provide and supervise remedial intervention measures to
address inadequate performance in the classroom.
On the other hand- Teacher must show a marked improvement in
performance when given adequate guidance and support.

Jens
Martensson
Categories of Marginal Teachers
►According to Fuhr (1990)
1. Lack of Training – Incompetent teachers who doesn’t grasp
basic techniques.
2. Personal Reasons- Teachers who have serious personal
problems for exhibiting chronic inadequacies in classroom
management.
3. Poor Attitudes- Teachers with negative or poor attitudes about
teaching. They know what is expected but refuse to do it.

Jens
Martensson
Categories of Marginal Teachers
► According to Kaye (2004)
1. Flotsam Marginal Teacher- “self-motivated and able neither to
improve their teaching or to seek out the assistance they needed to
effect change.
2. Jetsam Marginal Teacher- who do not offer their support when a
new instructional program requiring some changes to be made in
their school is implemented. These teachers are also running out of
their eagerness and energy to teach.
3. Club Med Marginal Teacher- These are teachers who are quite
indifferent to students, their learning and teaching profession.
Jens
Martensson
Dealing with Marginal Teachers
►- IGNORE THEM...

►- But ignoring them

usually makes their
performances worse.
Jens
Martensson
3 Strategies
1. Provide constructive coaching and good direction for professional
growth.
2. Offer a few vital and genuine words of encouragement, support,
respect and affection to the teachers with personal problems.
3. Talked clearly and specifically about their negative attitudes. But it
should be clear that this reprimand is for specific actions or
practices in the classroom, not for being a bad person.

leader…They set out to make a

always about the goal.”
