The Teachers Services Commission developed Teacher Performance Appraisal and Improvement as a termly instrument to keep teachers accountable for curriculum development.
The instrument, which has faced fierce criticism from instructors, is essential for teacher advancement.
TSC reminded teachers of significant documents that should be included in the TPAD file in one of its circulars. Documents in TPAD file documents must be prepared, used, updated, and kept often, per TSC rules.
