Resources
Our quality standard
How a resource earns its place here.
Every resource sold or shared on this site is read by a TMP reviewer before it goes live. We hold teachers and publishers to the same bar we hold our own work to. The criteria below are exactly what reviewers score, so you can check your work against them before you submit.
1. Requirements checked before a reviewer reads it
A resource cannot be submitted until all of these are true. The creator’s page lists what is still missing.
- A clear title, a 60 to 240 character summary, and a description of at least 300 characters.
- A subject, at least one level, and the author’s name.
- At least three learning outcomes, each a full sentence, and a statement of who it is for.
- A table of contents for books, courses and study guides.
- A cover picture of at least 600×400 pixels.
- A readable PDF (no password) with enough pages for its type: Book 15, Course (PDF) 15, Study guide 15, Worksheets 4, Past questions with answers 4, Lesson plans 3, Other 4.
- No email addresses, web links or phone numbers in the listing text, and a PDF with no scripts, auto-launching actions or embedded files.
- Paid resources cost between GH₵ 5 and GH₵ 5,000. Free resources are welcome.
- The creator’s signed declaration that the work is theirs or licensed, contains no personal data, is accurate, and follows the Creator terms.
2. What the reviewer scores
Every criterion is scored from 0 to 4 (0 Unacceptable, 1 Weak, 2 Adequate, 3 Good, 4 Excellent). The first three are gates: a failure on any of them can never be made up for by strengths elsewhere.
1. Accuracy and curriculum fitGate
Are the facts, worked solutions and answers correct, and does the content match the stated level and curriculum?
4, Excellent: Checked line by line: no errors found; maps clearly to the curriculum's objectives.
0, Unacceptable: Factual or mathematical errors, or content from the wrong level.
2. Originality and rightsGate
Is it the creator's own work, or properly licensed? No copied textbooks, pirated past papers, or uncredited images?
4, Excellent: Clearly original, with any third-party material credited and licensed.
0, Unacceptable: Copied or unlicensed material.
3. Safety and privacyGate
Is it free of personal data about children, harmful or inappropriate content, advertising, and links that take buyers away from TMP?
4, Excellent: Nothing of concern; links (if any) go only to reputable educational sources.
0, Unacceptable: Personal data, harmful content, or unsafe links.
4. Learning outcomes and structure
Are there clear learning outcomes, a sensible order, and a progression from simple to demanding?
4, Excellent: Outcomes are specific and each section demonstrably builds toward them.
0, Unacceptable: No discernible purpose or order.
5. Teaching quality
Does it explain, not just state: worked examples, practice questions, answers or marking guidance, and ways to check understanding?
4, Excellent: Clear explanations, varied worked examples, graded practice and full answers.
0, Unacceptable: Bare facts or questions with no help to learn.
6. Language and presentation
Is the writing clear and correct for the age group, and is the layout readable (type size, spacing, consistent headings, legible diagrams)?
4, Excellent: Polished, professional, and a pleasure to read.
0, Unacceptable: Hard to read or riddled with mistakes.
7. Age-appropriateness and inclusion
Is the tone, difficulty and context right for the learners, and respectful of all backgrounds, including Ghanaian examples where relevant?
4, Excellent: Well pitched, relevant to Ghanaian learners, inclusive.
0, Unacceptable: Inappropriate for the age group or stereotyping.
8. Value for the pricePaid resources only
Given the price, is there enough depth, originality and polish that a parent would feel the money was well spent?
4, Excellent: Clearly worth more than it costs.
0, Unacceptable: Thin for the price asked.
3. How the decision is made
- Approved only if every criterion scores at least 3 (Good) and the average is at least 3.25. The listing then goes live.
- Changes requested when it is close: the reviewer writes what to fix, and you resubmit.
- Declined when it cannot reach the standard, for example copied material. The reasons are sent to you.
- A reviewer never reviews their own resources.
4. After approval
- Changing what a reviewer judged (text, subject, cover or the PDF) takes the resource off the website until it is approved again. Changing only the price does not.
- We can take a resource down at once for a rights complaint or a safety problem. A taken-down resource cannot be downloaded by anyone, including earlier buyers, and TMP contacts them about a refund.
