The study specifically sought to determine the extent to which the appraisal of Teacher knowledge and application, appraisal on professional development of teachers and the appraisal of teachers' time management on Secondary Students’ Examination Scores among public schools in Kenya. Optimizing descriptive cross-sectional survey research design, the study targeted all secondary school teachers in Kenya. The study adopted a simple random sampling technique using a ratio of 3:1 to ensure all the 200 schools were given a fair chance to participate in the study; further, a purposive sampling technique was also used to identify key informants. Primary data was collected through an online structured questionnaire. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was done by use of descriptive and inferential statistics respectively. The study concluded that appraisal of teachers' continuous professional development, appraisal of teachers' knowledge and application and the appraisal of teachers' continuous time management greatly influences their performance hence improving students' academic performance. The study recommends the enhancement of TPAD during the next review phase to embrace and connect parameters in the appraisal tool and students’ examination scores. Further, TSC in liaison with the ministry of education and the respective school principals should take deliberate effort to plan and set aside funds to enhance professional training, workshops, seminars, and conferences through which the teachers will be enlightened on how to enhance their professional knowledge and application while considering independent evaluators to enhance credibility, validity and reliability of teacher rating.
