The Appraisal section in the Admin menu has 2 pages. An appraisal is a yearly review of your teaching. You rate yourself first; your school leader watches some of your lessons and agrees a final score; then you both talk it through. This page explains the whole idea in plain English. If a word looks new, Section 6 — Glossary explains it.
What does it measure?
Your teaching against the Eduversal Appraisal Framework — a shared set of teaching focus areas, each rated 1–4. The scores combine into one composite and a clear A–F band.
Who uses it?
Every teacher does a self-appraisal. Your school principal (the appraiser) does the observation and writes the official version on Academic Hub. You read the final result here on Teachers Hub.
One important separation. Appraisal is the yearly judgement system. It does not use your KPI numbers, and it does not feed your Competency Framework growth. They stay separate so each tells its own honest story. See Section 6 for the words.
Your appraisal moves through four steps across the year. You act in step 1 and step 4.
1
Step 1 · Self
Teacher Appraisal
You rate yourself against the framework and add evidence — before the post-conference.

2
Step 2 · Observe
Leader observes
Your school principal watches lessons (walkthroughs) and scores the same framework.
3
Step 3 · Discuss
Post-conference
You meet, compare your self-scores with theirs, and agree the final result together.

Step 4 · Read
Appraisal Results
When finalised, you read your composite score, A–F band, and growth goals here.

Where do I start? Begin at Teacher Appraisal (your self-appraisal). If it says no appraisal is open, that just means your school has not started the cycle yet — that is normal.
Two pages. Here is exactly what each one is for, when to use it, and what you will see.
Teacher Appraisal
Admin · Appraisal · /teacher-self-appraisal
What it is
Your self-appraisal form. You rate yourself against the Eduversal Appraisal Framework (each focus area, 1–4) and add evidence.
When to use it
Before your post-conference meeting with your appraiser. Fill it in honestly so the discussion is balanced.
What you see
- The framework's focus areas, each with a 1–4 rubric.
- A score selector and an evidence note per area.
- Cambridge Teacher Standards

Good to know
Your scores and evidence are visible to your appraiser alongside their observation scores. It is your voice in the room — use it.
Appraisal Results
Admin · Appraisal · /teacher-appraisal-results
What it is
A read-only view of your finalised appraisal — the agreed score per focus area, your composite, your A–F band, and growth goals.
When to use it
After your post-conference, once your appraiser has finalised the record. Until then it may say the result is not ready yet.
What you see
- Your score per focus area + the weighted composite.
- Your overall A–F band.
- Growth goals — your agreed next steps.
- History of past years, if any.
Good to know
This page is for reading. If a score surprises you, talk to your appraiser — the result is agreed in the post-conference, not changed afterwards here.
A soft list, not a test. These keep your appraisal stress-free.
1
Read the framework early
Open Teacher Appraisal at the start of the year. Knowing the focus areas helps you collect evidence as you go.
2
Keep examples through the year
A lesson that went well, a piece of student feedback, a project you tried. These become your evidence at self-appraisal time.
3
Score yourself fairly
An honest self-appraisal makes the post-conference a real conversation. Over- or under-scoring both make it harder.
4
Use the result to plan
After the cycle, open Appraisal Results and act on the growth goals. They point to your next focus — and link nicely to your Competency Framework work.
Tip: The same good teaching shows up in your Appraisal, your KPI, and your Competency Framework. Doing the work once feeds all three — but each is scored separately.
The boxes below show only the ones that apply to you today.
Short, plain meanings for the terms in the Appraisal pages.
