Reliability was tested through Cronbach’s alpha and an alpha value of 0.728 was reported. The quantitative collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as Pearson product moment correlation while qualitative data was analyzed thematically. The findings indicated that teacher reward accounted for 9.4%, as signified by Adjusted R2=.094, of the variation of implementation of teacher performance appraisal and development policy among the secondary schools. it’s recommended that Teachers service Commission should develop a more consultative approach in the development of performance appraisal system for the teachers in Kenya.
