Understanding the Revised TPAD and Remote Learning Framework

The TSC has been actively working on improving teacher evaluation systems to ensure better learning outcomes in schools. The Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD 3.0) system, along with Performance Contracting (PC) and the Lesson Observation Tool, has undergone significant modifications to reflect the current demands of the education sector.

 

To achieve a successful implementation, nine pilot counties —Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nyeri, Meru, Baringo, Kajiado, Garissa, and Vihiga—were selected for trial runs. The pilot program gathered data from teachers, school heads, and deputy principals on TPAD teaching standards, lesson observation criteria, and performance contracting requirements.
