Lesson observation on the new TPAD 2 system

Leave a comment

Lesson observation is a mandatory requirement in the new TPAD 2 system by TSC. All teachers must undergo lesson observation while delivering in class. It involves carrying out a formal scrutiny of teaching/learning while it is taking place in a classroom or other learning environment.

How to undertake Lesson Observation in the TPAD 2 Online System

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.

How the Appraiser will carry out Lesson Observation.

Once logged in, the appraiser can access 3 areas:

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

Now, proceed as follows;

  • The appraiser is required to Click on the ‘New Observation’ tab.
  • Once the appraiser clicks the new Observation tab, a pop up page will appear.
  • The appraiser is required to click on New Record whereby he/she will be required to add data on: Class/Form, Subject, Subject Topic, Lesson Topic, Number of Learners and Observation Date. Click on ‘Add record’ when done.
  • Locate the ‘OBSERVE’ tab on the page. Click the tab and complete the lesson observation sheet, online. When filling in the Observer’s Comment avoid word like good, excellent etc. Rather, describe what is observed in each area.
  • Next, fill in the Observer’s Summary Report that provides a brief version of what the observer has noted. Another area to be completed is the Observer’s recommendation that shows the strengths and gaps that have been observed.
  • Click on ‘Save observation marks’ to upload the record.
  • Once data is saved successfully, the status of the observation on the page will change to “COMPLETED”.
  • With this, you will be sure that the Lesson observation has been successful.

TSC opens portal for Term 3 TPAD appraisal (See instructions and deadline)

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has opened the TPAD portal for teachers to capture their appraisal data. According to the latest circular from the Commission, the TPAD online system opened on 20th May, 2021 and shall be closed on 23rd July 2021.

The Commission has at the same time given guidelines on how the TPAD will be handled, this term. For instance, teachers have been instructed to strictly adhere to TPAD calendar of activities. In the past, the Commission has penalized teachers who do not follow the stipulated calendar of activities.

A case in point is where a teacher filled all parts of the TPAD online form in the first week of the term. This should not be the case as there are parts of the form that should only be filled towards the end of the term; like the part on learners’ progress. 

School heads have been directed to ensure that all staff in their institutions have created accounts for term three of 2020 (the current term). They will at the same time appraise all teachers in their institutions before the deadline. This will prevent scenarios where some teachers fail to be appraised in good time.

Make sure to also attach necessary documents as evidence to your TSC TPAD online appraisal form. See what to attach here; Latest list of documents and evidence that should be attached to the online TPAD form.

Whereas the School Heads and Principals have express authority to cancel a teacher’s appraisal form, the Commission has now asked them not to cancel TPAD forms that are not ‘satisfactory’. Once a teacher’s TPAD form is cancelled by the Head of Institution, such a teacher is expected to start the whole appraisal process, afresh.

The ICT and TPAD champions are expected to facilitate the process and ensure 100% compliance in their schools. See also; How to ensure that your TPAD 2 online form reads 100% and not 99%.
