Since the time of the Greeks mentors have existed to guide young aristocratic and noble men and prepare them to become future conquerors. Because of that pedagogy was developed, but today education is not only available to the rich and famous. But is a mandatory requirement for every family to send their children to school.

However the learning ability of a child highly depends on the interest level of the child. Because this will greatly affect the kids focus, and to remedy tutors have continuously develop their teaching strategies not just to teach young children about their maths and English studies. But tutors incorporate instructional rounds in education so that experienced and aspiring tutors alike can easily assimilate themselves into their chosen field.

Experience is necessary if one wants to take another step higher on the ladder of success in career. However without the right connections and mentors guiding you succeed is impossible. Because you need people who can directly evaluate.

So once these same students become tutors themselves looking for experience. Getting involve with rounds of other tutors not only provide them with professional support and guidance. But they are able to improve their current skills and areas that need to be worked on.

The notes are used later after classes are over and a meeting and discussion ensue. There is no imbalance here for each teacher as everyone gets a chance to say their piece before moving on to the next person. This is advantageous for the evaluated teacher because they are able to pick up information and better understand how their classes are progressing.

But doing this is very difficult, so for a holistic approach other teachers can provide input to help the child. However this is limited by the fact that the objects of the subject might be under the influence of the residing teacher. And it might not provide a good observation ground for those who are seeking insight and other information.

Because this brings a lot of opportunities for teachers to improve themselves. That conducting this type of evaluation method has provided most teachers with a chance to review their past performance and develop themselves over time. But disadvantages also exists regarding the evaluation.

Because it might not help the teacher improve since discussions are often done after class hours. And not many teachers would like to stay after work because they live far away or they do not want to get involve with rush hour traffic. Aside students might not feel comfortable with the group hanging around at the back.

Those who are part of this group should adhere to the rules and regulations as well as the guidelines that keep everything professional and confidential. There are about three rules to follow such as keeping things confidential by not sharing information to outsiders. Debriefing must not include comments except a thorough review of what has happened during the assessment. And most importantly teachers should not give out comments, suggestions, and advices especially when it is not requested by others in the group. Hence it is important that schools allow these.
