NRS-616 | Reports on teachers and pupil teachers

In 1864 the Board considered it expedient to discontinue the practice then in existence of requiring Inspectors to revise the examination papers of teachers, and to appoint a special officer for this duty. It was induced to take this step partly with a view to relieve the Inspectors of a labour for the proper performance of which, in connection with other duties of an onerous nature, they had not sufficient time; but chiefly to remove from the teachers' minds all grounds of suspicion as to the perfect impartiality of the reports upon their papers. The appointment of Examiner was accordingly conferred upon A. Oliver. The following year the office was discontinued, the duties of the Examiner once again reverting to the Inspectors. The majority of reports received are examination reports supplied by the Examiner (Alexander Oliver) and Examiners to the Board (the Headmaster of the Model School and District Inspectors) for the classification of teachers and pupil-teachers. Printed forms, headed "Estimates of Examination Papers" show name of examinee, date of examination, and in some cases, the school to which the teacher or pupil-teacher was attached. The present classification and the classification to which the candidate aspired are normally shown. (1/365-66; 1/376 part, microfilm copy SR Reel 2385). 3 vols.

1864年，新南威尔士州教育委员会认为应当终止当时通行的要求教育督学审阅教师试卷的惯例，并任命专职专员负责此项工作。作出这一决策的部分缘由在于，督学们身负多项繁重职责，无暇妥善完成试卷审阅工作；但更核心的目的，则是彻底消除教师群体对其试卷评审报告公正性的所有质疑。委员会随即任命A·奥利弗担任专职阅卷专员。次年，该专职岗位被撤销，阅卷职责重新交由督学承担。
馆藏的大部分报告均为阅卷专员（亚历山大·奥利弗）及委员会专属阅卷员（模范学校校长与地区督学）提交的考试报告，用于对教师及实习教师进行职级评定。印有“试卷评分表（Estimates of Examination Papers）”抬头的印刷表单中，会记录考生姓名、考试日期，部分表单还会标注考生所属的学校——此处考生指教师或实习教师。表单通常还会标注考生当前的职级及目标职级。（档案编号：1/365-66；1/376部分，缩微胶片副本SR Reel 2385）
