The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, requires each school to plan for the termly appraisals for teachers. All the teachers are to be appraised under the new Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD 2) system.
The New/ Revised TPAD Online System provides a module where all TPAD activities will be uploaded throughout the appraisal period by appraisee, appraiser and countersigning officer.
The planning for the term’s appraisal activities should be done few days before the schools open. There should be continuous monitoring and reporting of the appraisals during the term.
