The status quo

Spreadsheets. Anecdotes. Last-week recall.

Most schools still review teachers from a single Google Form, a hallway conversation, and a principal's memory. SQAAF changed the bar overnight — now the framework expects evidence from multiple stakeholders, mapped to specific domain criteria, with auditable consent on every minor record.

  • Single survey, single voice.
    Five evidence streams that triangulate against each other — student, peer, self, principal, and AI-graded artifacts.
  • Free-text comments no one reads.
    Per-teacher narrative reports written in a senior principal's voice — strengths, growth areas, a coaching plan.
  • DPDP risk on every form you send home.
    Parental consent, data minimisation, and 72-hour breach posture built into the workflow — not bolted on.
  • Two months of manual work per cycle.
    One academic term, one principal, one workflow. Reports generated in minutes.

The framework

Five evidence streams. One composite score.

No single voice tells the truth about a teacher. ProofSchool triangulates feedback from every stakeholder + the work the teacher actually produced — then combines them into a weighted, SQAAF-aligned composite a parent, principal, or peer assessor can read in two minutes.

Stream 01

Student

Anonymous, parental-consent-gated mobile feedback. Bilingual forms (English + Tamil at launch; Hindi, Bengali, Kannada in pilot).

Weight · 30%

Stream 02

Peer

Fellow teachers rate each other on collegiality, lesson observations, and contribution to the staff room.

Weight · 20%

Stream 03

Self

The teacher's own structured reflection — required by SQAAF Domain 3 (CPD). Honest self-assessment is graded too.

Weight · 15%

Stream 04

Principal

Principal completes a structured rubric in-app — not a free-text comment box. Levels 1-4 with mandatory evidence notes.

Weight · 20%

Stream 05

Artifact

Three teaching artifacts independently graded by AI on SQAAF-aligned dimensions. The piece most schools have never had.

Weight · 15%

Default weights ship per the SQAAF reference rubric. Schools can re-weight per-template — a primary school may emphasise parent voice; a higher-secondary school may lean on peer assessment.

AI-graded artifacts

Three artifacts, scored on the same rubric a senior educator would use.

Stream 5 of the framework. The teacher submits three structured texts — a lesson plan, an assessment paper, and a reflective practice note. Each is independently evaluated by Claude Sonnet 4.6 against 3-5 SQAAF-aligned dimensions.

The rubric is published, the dimensions are explicit, and every score lands in the report with a one-sentence justification. This is the part of the framework most schools have never had a tool for — until now.

Lesson plan

5 dimensions · 0–100

A representative lesson the teacher delivered this term. Graded on objective clarity, engagement & method variety, assessment alignment, differentiation, and practical feasibility.

  • Objective clarity
  • Engagement & variety
  • Assessment alignment
  • Differentiation
  • Feasibility

Assessment paper

5 dimensions · 0–100

An actual test or quiz the teacher set this term. Graded on Bloom's taxonomy distribution, question variety, clarity, curriculum alignment, and originality vs textbook copy.

  • Bloom's distribution
  • Question variety
  • Clarity
  • Curriculum alignment
  • Originality

Reflective practice

3 dimensions · 0–100

A 200-word reflection on a lesson that didn't go as planned. Graded on self-awareness, growth orientation, and pedagogical insight — directly mapped to SQAAF Domain 3 (CPD).

  • Self-awareness
  • Growth orientation
  • Pedagogical insight

SQAAF mapping

Three domains. The three where independent evidence is the gold standard.

SQAAF spans seven domains. ProofSchool covers the three where anonymous, multi-stakeholder, audit-ready evidence carries the most weight in the framework — including the highest-weighted domain.

Domain 1Weight · 40%

Curriculum, Pedagogy & Assessment

The highest-weighted SQAAF domain. Covered by every stream — student voice on classroom experience, peer voice on lesson observation, AI grading on lesson plans + assessment papers + reflection.

Domain 3Weight · 10%

Human Resources

Teacher CPD evidence, self-reflection rigour, growth trajectory across cycles. The reflective practice artifact maps directly to SQAAF's CPD criteria.

Domain 7Weight · 10%

Beneficiary Satisfaction

Anonymous student + parent feedback at scale. SQAAF's gold standard for this domain — direct stakeholder voice with audit-trailed consent.

Domains 2, 4, 5, and 6 (Infrastructure, Inclusive Practices, Management & Governance, Leadership) are documentary in nature — they belong in your SARAS upload, not in a teacher review tool. ProofSchool stays focused on the three where it adds real evidentiary weight.

How a cycle runs

Four steps. One academic term. Zero spreadsheets.

Built around the SQAAF 4R quality cycle — Review · Reflect · Respond · Rate.

  1. 01

    Add your teachers, sections, and rubric

    Three grade-band starter rubrics ship by default — Primary I-V, Secondary VI-X, Higher Secondary XI-XII. Customise per school once, then reuse every term. Sections + bulk teacher import handle the boring part.

  2. 02

    Run the assessment cycle

    Each section gets a unique anonymous QR + URL. Send home with parental consent slip; classes scan in the lab. Live response monitoring; auto-close on deadline or response limit.

  3. 03

    Submit principal rating + artifacts

    Principal completes the structured rubric in-app. Teacher submits the three text artifacts. Each artifact is independently AI-graded on its rubric dimensions, on demand.

  4. 04

    Generate per-teacher AI reports

    One Claude Sonnet 4.6 call per teacher, prompt-cached at the rubric level. Composite score, SQAAF performance level, strengths, growth areas, coaching plan. Export white-label PDFs for the management committee.

FAQ

The questions principals actually ask.

Don't see yours? Email us — we read every message.

How is this different from a Google Form?
ProofSchool isn't a survey — it's an evidence framework. Five independent streams triangulate against each other so a single biased respondent can't move the score, and every artifact the teacher produces is graded against published SQAAF-aligned dimensions. The output is a per-teacher narrative report, not a CSV of ratings.
Are you a CBSE-empanelled assessment agency?
No. ProofSchool is a SQAAF Implementation Partner — we provide tooling and reports for school self-assessment that you can upload to the SARAS portal. Final accreditation ratings are determined by CBSE-certified Peer Assessor Teams during external assessment. The disclaimer is printed on every report we generate.
How is parental consent handled for student feedback?
Parental consent is collected before any student response is processed, with token, IP-hash, terms version, and timestamp recorded. The audit trail is exportable. We support paper-slip-home consent for primary schools and in-app consent for secondary, both DPDP-compliant.
Can teachers see their own reports?
Yes — but only their own. The principal-admin sees all reports for their school; each teacher privately reads their report and writes a self-reflection. No cross-teacher leakage.
What if our school's pricing is different from your published tiers?
We do custom pricing for state boards, multi-campus groups, and educational trusts. Talk to us — we'll set a per-school annual price and a per-credit overage rate negotiated for your situation. There's no Razorpay plan provisioning friction; it's just two number fields on your account.
Where is data stored, and who can access it?
All data is stored in asia-south1 (Mumbai) Firestore + Storage. Inside ProofChain, only the named principal-admin for each school can access that school's data; engineers can access aggregate logs for support but not individual student responses without an explicit access request approved by the school. Access requests are audit-logged.
What happens at the end of our subscription?
Your historical reports stay accessible for 90 days after expiry. You can export everything as PDFs + CSVs anytime. After 90 days, school + student data is purged per DPDP retention norms — except the audit trail of consent + deletion, which we retain as required by law.

The next teacher review cycle is the one you'll be glad you ran on ProofSchool.

We onboard schools personally — no self-signup. A 30-minute call, a guided rubric setup, and your first cycle is in the field by next week.
