New Postings

  • Replacement Pages for Manuals ( PDF Format)
    This PDF file contains pages for updating the teacher and specialty area June 2005 manuals to the May 1, 2008 dated changes.  Changes were made to reflect the reduction in the number of observations for some classroom teachers beginning in fall 2008.  Although pages are updated in specialty area manuals, these educators will still be observed as currently stated in the June 2005 manuals.

 The Teacher Evaluation Record Program
The Teacher Evaluation Record Program is an Excel workbook that contains the teacher evaluation instruments.  All instruments are linked to minimize redundancy of recording demographics and scores and can be maintained as an electronic evaluation file for a teacher.  The instruments and scores can be printed for hardcopy files.  Right click on the link above to download the program.  This version (Version 1.4) has been enhanced by adding drop down menu boxes for Competency 7 on the ESR.  Also the summary table on the ESR for identifying areas of strengths and needed improvements now places the scores in the table for easier viewing and determination of areas that may need improvement activities for the PDP.
DO NOT use this version if a teacher is participating in the revised interview field test.  Instead, use the program listed under New Postings or found through the "Field Tests and Pilots" menu link.

School Profile of Teachers
The school profile of teachers is an Excel workbook that provides a school summary of all ESRs for teachers.  This summary identifies strengths and areas for improvement for the school as a whole.

      
 


PEPE Overview by Dr. Barbara Walters

The Alabama Professional Education Personnel Evaluation (PEPE) Program addresses the resolution adopted by the State Board of Education in July, 1988 establishing policies and procedures requiring the development of a professional education personnel evaluation system in each local school system. However, in the event that any local board of education does not develop such an evaluation system, it is required to use the evaluation system developed by the State Department of Education. The research-based criteria used in the evaluation of professional education personnel were developed by a task force who represented superintendents; supervisors; elementary, middle, and secondary principals and teachers; business/industry; parents; school boards; higher education; specialty areas; and professional organizations and associations.

The evaluation systems available as state models are the teacher system, the principal system, the superintendent system, the central office system, the assistant principal system, and the following specialty areas: counselors, psychologists\psychometrists, library media specialists, speech pathologists and special education teachers of students with severe disabilities.
