Performance Appraisal

Merit lists, growth trends, and a performance dashboard — built from marks teachers already enter.

Rankings computed automatically when an exam closes, structured CBC rubrics, a remark bank, and a class-wide dashboard for leadership — one connected appraisal engine, not a spreadsheet rebuilt every term.

The Moment It Happens

Close the exam. The merit list is already there.

The moment a numeric exam is closed, every student is ranked in their stream and in their class off their average score — a snapshot, not a live number, so correcting a mark afterward doesn’t quietly reshuffle a rank someone has already seen. For CBC-graded classes, there’s no single number to rank by, so ranking doesn’t apply there — by design, not a gap.

The Modules

Six pieces, one connected appraisal record.

Class Rankings & Merit Lists

When a numeric exam closes, every student gets a rank in their stream and in their class — computed once, as a snapshot, so a later mark correction doesn't silently reshuffle a rank that's already been published.

  • Rank in stream & rank in class, per exam
  • Computed automatically the moment an exam closes
  • Numeric-scale exams only — CBC has no single average to rank, by design
Teachers

Structured CBC Rubrics

A real criteria-by-performance-level grid for each curriculum sub-strand, scored per learner — not a free-text comment standing in for an actual assessment.

  • Criteria × performance-level grid, per sub-strand
  • Scored per individual learner
  • Built on the school's own grading scale bands
Teachers

Remark Bank

A categorized library of report-card comment lines — strengths, progress, needs-support, and the seven CBC core competencies — so a comment is picked and adapted, not composed from nothing every time.

  • Strength / Progress / Needs Support categories
  • The 7 CBC core competencies as categories
  • A shared library plus each school's own authored entries

Growth Trends

Any subject a student has two or more recorded results for gets classified as improving, declining, or stable across their whole history — deterministically, so a school can always explain why a trend was called what it was called.

  • Improving / declining / stable, per subject
  • Whole recorded history, not just the latest exam
  • Never a guess on thin data — flagged as insufficient instead

Report Card Insight

A report card leads with an achievement distribution and Strengths/Areas for Support. Class rank and average still show — just secondary, in line with CBC/CBE's own move away from making class position the headline number.

  • Achievement distribution by grade band
  • Strengths & Areas for Support, generated with the remark bank
  • Class rank/average shown, deliberately secondary
School Owners & Principals

Class Performance Dashboard

One screen per exam and class: achievement and competency-development distributions, class-wide growth stats, and a rule-based list of students flagged for intervention.

  • Achievement & competency-development distributions
  • Class-wide growth stats (improving/declining/stable)
  • Rule-based intervention flags, Owner/Principal only

Built around CBC/CBE, not against it

Kenya’s own move under CBC/CBE is away from raw class ranking as the headline measure of a learner. This engine follows that lead — achievement distribution and Strengths/Areas for Support come first on a report card, rank stays secondary, and a growth trend is only ever shown when there’s genuinely enough history to support it.
