Who this template is for

Teacher Evaluation Form is built for schools, tutors and course providers who need to enrol people and record permissions in one place.

  • Schools, tutors and course providers working in education & schools.
  • Teams who need to enrol people and record permissions in one place without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing consent forms chased on paper the week before term with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are students, parents and staff — the form asks them 26 questions across 3 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of consent forms chased on paper the week before term and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 10 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It scores satisfaction on a consistent scale.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Type of review” is Probationary, the form dynamically exposes “Recommendation”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Type of review” is Post-observation, the form dynamically exposes “Date of the lesson observed”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Is a formal support plan needed?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “What support will the school provide?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Is a formal support plan needed?” is Yes, “Date of the follow-up review” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

An evaluation that is only a set of scores tells a teacher nothing they can act on. This form pairs every rating with the evidence behind it. The evaluator records who is being evaluated, the subject and year group, the review period and the type of review — probationary, annual, peer or post-observation — and probationary reviews add a recommendation field, because that is the only route where a decision has to be recorded. Rated criteria cover planning and preparation, subject knowledge, classroom climate, assessment and feedback, differentiation for mixed ability, and communication with parents and colleagues. Each block has a short evidence box so a three means the same thing across a department. The final page turns the review into a plan: two strengths to keep, one focus area, the support the school will provide, a review date, and space for the teacher's own response before both parties sign. Ratings export cleanly to a spreadsheet so you can look at a department over time instead of one teacher in one week.

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 4 conditional rules, grouped into 4 behaviours driven by 2 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “Type of review

  • Reveals questions

    If “Type of review” is Probationary, the form reveals “Recommendation”.

  • Reveals questions

    If “Type of review” is Post-observation, the form reveals “Date of the lesson observed”.

Driven by “Is a formal support plan needed?

  • Reveals questions

    If “Is a formal support plan needed?” is Yes, the form reveals “What support will the school provide?”.

  • Makes answers required

    If “Is a formal support plan needed?” is Yes, “Date of the follow-up review” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Match the criteria to your framework

    Rename the rated rows so they read exactly as your appraisal policy or inspection framework words them — the ratings still export the same way.

  2. 2

    Agree what each score means

    Put a one-line descriptor in the help text of each rating so a 3 from one evaluator means the same as a 3 from another.

  3. 3

    Complete it with the teacher present

    Fill the development page together; the response field exists so disagreement is recorded rather than argued about later.

  4. 4

    Export the term's reviews together

    Download the responses as a spreadsheet and look at criteria across the department, which is where patterns actually show up.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Scoring every criterion without writing any evidence, which makes the review impossible to defend.
  • Setting five focus areas instead of one, so nothing changes before the follow-up.
  • Skipping the teacher's response field, which turns an appraisal into a verdict.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Share the completed evaluation with the teacher, diarise the follow-up review date, and keep the signed submission with the personnel record.

Works in both layouts

These pages cover the same subject ground as the teacher evaluation form, matched on the words people actually search for.

Frequently asked questions

Can teachers see their own evaluation?

Yes — send the submission as a PDF from the response view, or turn on the response receipt so the teacher gets a copy the moment both signatures are captured.

How is this different from a classroom observation?

An observation records one lesson as it happens. This form summarises a period and turns it into a development plan; use the Classroom Observation Form to feed evidence into it.

Can we use it for peer review?

Choose Peer review as the type. The recommendation field stays hidden, so colleagues give developmental feedback without appearing to make an employment decision.

Do we have to use a 5-point scale?

No. Change the maximum on any rating field, or swap it for a radio question using your own labels such as Developing, Secure and Exemplary.

Is the Teacher Evaluation Form template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Teacher Evaluation Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Teacher Evaluation Form template ask for?

It asks 26 questions across 3 pages, 10 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Can I edit the Teacher Evaluation Form form after copying it?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

How does the conditional logic in this education & schools form work?

4 conditional rules ship with the template: Features advanced show logic: if “Type of review” is Probationary, the form dynamically exposes “Recommendation”. Otherwise that question never appears. Features advanced show logic: if “Type of review” is Post-observation, the form dynamically exposes “Date of the lesson observed”. Otherwise that question never appears. Features advanced show logic: if “Is a formal support plan needed?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “What support will the school provide?”. Otherwise that question never appears. All rules are editable in the Logic tab.

Where do responses to the Teacher Evaluation Form form go?

Submissions land in your workspace under Submissions, where you can search, filter, label and export them to CSV or PDF. You can also email a notification to your team on every submission and send the respondent an auto-reply.

Can I embed the Teacher Evaluation Form form on my own website?

Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.

Is the signature on this form legally usable?

The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
