How to conduct TPAD 2 appraisal rating meeting

A TSC teacher is expected to schedule an appraisal rating meeting with the appraiser. This is done online at the TPAD 2 portal. Before the appraisal rating meeting, you are required to evaluate and rate yourself. Your appraiser is also required to assess and rate you.

After the completion of the self-evaluation and evaluation by the appraiser (you), the interface will show a completed appraisal which should be “Appraisal completion 100%”.

The appraiser should notify the appraisee of the time, venue and agenda of the meeting, before the appraisal rating meeting which should be in line with the institutional calendar of activities.

The lesson Observation tab can be found under the self appraisals tab for the appraisees, once you log in.

You can send the appraiser a request to be observed by clicking on ‘REQUEST OBSERVATION’ tab.

A message requesting for the lesson observation would be crafted. Once the message is crafted, you are required to send the request. This will appear in the notification part of the of your window.

Once logged in, the appraiser can access 3 areas:

  • My lesson Observation,
  • Create Lesson Observation and
  • New Observation.

Now, proceed as follows;
