TIE's Growth & Appraisal Tool provides teachers and staff in the international schools with the opportunity to define their own growth by documenting evidence of professional Standards through documents, photos, videos, etc. No rubrics, no checklists.
The key premise is to have educators collect REAL evidence based on Standards and their own voice and choice.
Turns growth & appraisal into a collaborative journey, giving educators ownership over their progress through goal setting, reflection, and artifacts of practice.
Move beyond surface-level evaluations. GAT helps schools document the depth and complexity of great teaching, rooted in real classroom impact - not one-time observations.
Built around internationally recognized research-based Standards, the tool connects professional growth with global benchmarks - supporting recruitment, evaluation, and accreditation processes.
Teachers showcase their work through videos, lesson plans, reflections, and student artifacts - creating a living portfolio of professional excellence aligned to standards.
Facilitate meaningful conversations between leaders and educators. GAT encourages two-way feedback, mutual understanding, and collaborative improvement.
Whether you're school-wide or goal-based, GAT adapts to your existing appraisal cycle. Choose the approach that fits: school focus, teacher goals, or targeted support.
Traditional appraisal often feels top-down, check-the-box, and disconnected from real growth.
The Growth & Appraisal Tool flips the script.
