Great teaching. Scattered evidence.

Proficient Teacher accreditation asks for 5 to 8 annotated items that, with your observation report, reach all seven Standards. The teaching is the easy part. Choosing, annotating and checking the evidence is what eats your weekends.

Evidence everywhere

Photos on your phone, a OneDrive folder called “APST stuff”, and starred emails you've already forgotten about.

Which 5 to 8?

You have a term's worth of evidence. Which items reach all seven Standards and all three domains between them?

Annotating in a hurry

Writing annotations straight into eTAMS the week it's due, then finding you're over 35 pages or 10 MB.

There's a tidier way: one tab that holds every item, annotation and observation, and checks your selection before you submit.

Your evidence never leaves your computer.

07Your state

Built for New South Wales. Other states on the way.

Every state and territory uses the same national Proficient Standards, but each regulator runs its own process. This version follows NESA's process, wording and eTAMS submission requirements.

09Questions

Before you buy

Still unsure? These are the questions teachers ask most.

Does this replace eTAMS?
No. You submit your evidence, annotations and observation report in your NESA online account (eTAMS), and your supervisor and principal or TA Delegate complete their parts there. The builder gets everything ready and lets you copy each annotation straight in.
How much evidence do I need?
NESA asks for 5 to 8 items, each linked to 2 to 4 Standard Descriptors. Together with your observation report they need to reach all 7 Standards and all 3 domains. You don't need all 37 descriptors. Collect broadly, then choose.
Where is my work saved?
In your web browser on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded. Download a backup every couple of weeks so you can restore your folio if browser data is cleared or you change computers.
Will it work on my iPad?
No. It's designed for laptops and desktops (Windows, Mac or Chromebook) in Chrome or Edge. iPads and phones can't run a saved web-page file like this reliably.
Is it endorsed by NESA?
No. It's an independent resource and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by NESA or AITSL. Always confirm current requirements on the NESA website and in the NSW Teacher Accreditation Manual.
Is the 35-page count exact?
It's an estimate: it adds up PDF pages and counts each image as one page. Word files can't be counted, so save them as PDF and check in eTAMS before you submit.
What files can I upload?
Photos (JPG, PNG), scans and PDFs are embedded in your folio. Word, PowerPoint and video files are listed by name, so save documents as PDF first.
Can I buy for my early career teachers?
Yes. The team pack covers teachers for , and each teacher keeps their own folio on their own computer. Paying through the school? You'll get an emailed receipt to pass to your business manager.
How do I get it after paying?
Checkout is handled by Payhip. Straight after payment you'll get an email with your download link and receipt: a ZIP with the builder file and the user guide. Save it somewhere permanent, open it in Chrome or Edge, and take the tour.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Email and we'll help you get it running. If it can't be fixed, you'll get a refund. See the refund policy.
