The Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD reports) for 2023–2025 are mandatory documents for teachers applying to the current TSC promotion interviews. This guide explains how to access, download, calculate your annual averages, and prepare certified physical copies so your promotion file meets verification requirements for grades C1 through D4.
Key Takeaways
- TPAD reports for the last three years (2023, 2024, 2025) are compulsory for TSC promotion interviews.
- You may encounter browser security warnings when accessing archived appraisals — the guide shows a safe bypass sequence.
- Calculate annual averages by summing the three term scores and dividing by three; record these exactly on the promotion portal.
- Bring printed, stamped, and signed TPAD reports with a full, certified promotion portfolio to the live interview.
Why TPAD Reports Matter for TSC Promotion Interviews
TPAD reports monitor teaching performance, lesson planning, learner outcomes, professional development, and leadership. Promotion panels use them to judge consistency, improvement, and institutional contribution. Missing years or uncertified copies can lead to disqualification or loss of marks during verification.
How to Download TPAD Reports (2023–2025)
- Open a browser and go to the official TPAD portal. Log in with your TSC number, password, and the security captcha.
- From the dashboard, click APPRAISALS then select SELF APPRAISAL.
- Choose VIEW ARCHIVED APPRAISAL to access older records for 2023, 2024, and 2025.
- If you see a browser security warning, click ADVANCED or Show Details, then PROCEED to the archive page. This warning is common with older government directories.
- Click VIEW APPRAISAL beside each term and press CTRL + P (or Cmd + P on Mac) to print each page to PDF or a physical printer. Check margins so scores and head comments are visible.
Calculating Your Annual TPAD Performance Averages
To fill the promotion application and summary sheets accurately, compute one annual average per operational year:
- Collect the three term scores for a year (Term 1, Term 2, Term 3).
- Add the three final aggregate percentages or marks.
- Divide the total by three to get the annual average.
- Record the result exactly as calculated on the promotion portal to avoid integrity queries.
Documents to Include in Your Promotion Portfolio
Organize your portfolio in an expanding file with clear dividers and page numbers. Core documents required by panels include:
- Original National ID plus a clear photocopy.
- Original academic and professional certificates (KCSE, PTE, Diploma, Degree, etc.).
- Letter of appointment to current grade and the last promotional letter.
- Latest TSC payslip showing active payroll status.
- Letters assigning responsibility for administrative roles (BOM letters, acting appointments).
- Printed and stamped TPAD reports for 2023, 2024, and 2025.
- Evidence of professional engagement (trainings, examiner roles, curriculum panels) and co-curricular leadership.
Certification and Verification
After printing, take your TPAD reports to your Head of Institution or Principal for stamping and signing. Keep the originals and certified photocopies in the order the panel expects. Panels will conduct strict document verification — proper certification reduces delays and protects your score.
Browser Warnings and Safe Access Tips
- Security warnings on archived pages are common. Use the browser ADVANCED option to proceed when necessary.
- Download each appraisal page individually and inspect PDFs before printing.
- If you cannot access archives, contact your school ICT officer or TSC county office for assistance early.
Final Preparation Tips for Interview Day
- Ensure every photocopy that requires certification is stamped according to policy.
- Arrange documents in the order requested by the panel and paginate the file.
- Arrive early at the interview center and carry at least two sets of your certified portfolio.
- Check that your 2023–2025 TPAD summaries show a stable or improving performance trend; be ready to explain any anomalies.
Additional Resources
If you teach under the CBC or need curriculum and exam preparation materials while updating your portfolio, consult CBC exam resources and lesson plans. For teachers preparing academically, review Diploma in Education past papers or browse the CBC exams resources and the CBC lesson plans collection for classroom evidence and professional development materials.
Thorough, accurate TPAD records and a well-organized, certified portfolio give you the best chance during TSC promotion interviews. Prepare early, check each document, and present clear evidence of your teaching impact and leadership.
