In addition to ongoing development, which practice supports maintaining instructional quality over time?

• A. Fixed curriculum with no updates
• B. Sporadic seminars with no schedule
• C. Periodic re-calibration of teaching standards
• D. Annual salary review

Answer: (C)

Maintaining instructional quality over time relies on regularly aligning and updating how teaching is evaluated and expected to perform. Periodic re-calibration of teaching standards creates a structured process to adjust expectations, rubrics, and assessment criteria so educators stay aligned with current best practices as circumstances change. This ongoing alignment complements ongoing development by ensuring what is taught and how it is measured remains relevant and consistent across classrooms.

A fixed curriculum with no updates can’t adapt to new evidence or needs. Sporadic seminars without a scheduled cadence lack consistent, systemic improvement. An annual salary review doesn’t directly affect how instruction is delivered or assessed.
