AppraisED is a performance appraisal tool designed for educators and mission-driven teams. Using a 3D framework it turns one-off reviews into ongoing growth journeys that empower staff and align with your purpose.
AppraisED isn’t just another appraisal tool. It’s a complete ecosystem designed to simplify performance reviews, spark meaningful development conversations, and turn feedback into actionable insights.
AppraisED was created through hands-on research with real teachers and school leaders – especially within the SDA school system.
AppraisED transforms disconnected, compliance-driven appraisals into a continuous, mission-aligned approach to growth – for individuals and organisations alike.
Without structured, ongoing evaluation, it’s easy to miss high-potential staff members.
Traditional appraisal processes don’t consistently capture reliable data that can be compared across the organisation.
Organisations lack visibility into growth patterns, gaps, and shifts at both team and whole-of-organisation levels.
Many tools focus narrowly on skills and behaviour, overlooking alignment with mission and values.
Different managers often approach appraisals differently, leading to unfair, fragmented, or incomplete assessments.
The process is often treated as a policy obligation rather than a strategic tool to build people and teams.
Without good-quality data, it’s harder to make confident decisions about promotions, succession, or capability-building.
Staff see appraisals as an obligation, not a meaningful opportunity for growth.
Employees often don’t know what’s being measured or how to improve.
Feedback is rarely acted upon, leaving staff to wonder if the process actually matters.
Without regular checkpoints and smaller growth moments throughout the year, staff miss out on the ongoing support and momentum needed to truly develop.
Staff only address issues when flagged, instead of working towards intentional growth goals.
Staff don’t have structured ways to learn from high-performing colleagues.
Traditional appraisal tools often require staff to engage with yet another platform that feels clunky or separate from their daily workflow.
AppraisED simplifies the appraisal process through self-assessments, lesson observations, and performance interviews – empowering educators with actionable insights while reducing administrative workload.
Our platform is the result of deep research, user testing, and collaboration with experts in the field. From ideation to launch, every feature is informed by real challenges and shaped by data.
