Q: how many forms should you fill out as a teacher?
syllabus (i agree w/ this one)
lesson plan for each class? (for a 90min freakin class? especially when you already got the syllabus)
application form for testing approaches (really wtf is this?)

The first two seem reasonable,even though i dont look at my lesson plan during class,if you do you look dumb,once you accept first two they just keep on adding until you so no i am not doing it,they will probally say ok
When you say "filling out forms," do you mean for the school to review? By your examples, that is what it seems to indicate. Personally, the college I work at hasn't ever requested any forms at any time.
I make out a lesson plan for each semester and prepare material for class, tests, and finals, but the school has never asked to see anything. All they require is that I turn in the grades in a timely manner after finals.

yes these are forms they gave me to fill out and turn in
It depends on the school and subjects being taught. For oral English, and language schools, there would be little need for any forms, as it is not a real subject, and the predetermined results mean nothing outside the school. A basic lesson plan and the required passing grades would seem to be all that is needed, assuming the school wants anything at all.
If you are teaching a foreign accredited course, your school should expect much more, as those that have taught in the west would know. First, a semester plan, showing what material will be presented in which weeks of the semester. It should also show when assignments and tests are due to be completed, and what exactly will be in them. This is to allow the students to prepare a study plan, and is generally a requirement of the accreditation board in the foreign country.
A good school should also require lesson plans for each lesson, so they know the teacher knows exactly what they are teaching each lesson. The student then also knows exactly what is required at the beginning of each lesson, and will know what is coming up in the next lesson.
Most foreign accreditation boards will require the foreign partner school to keep ongoing records, such as attendance, course work, class participation, assignment and test results, and others. For a genuine school, they will require the teacher to also complete this, as a requirement of the student completing the foreign award.
Schools are often required to have their teachers complete application forms for the foreign country accreditation board, to show that they have the qualifications and experience required to teach and/or assess the subjects they are teaching/assessing.
In the past, many schools faked these, like they faked the qualifications for the Chinese authorities. The result of this now is that the student often doesn't get a genuine award from the foreign country.
