  • 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.

         Special thanks to Robin Payant, Asst. Principal, Shelby County Schools, for facilitating translation of survey into Spanish version.  Additional translations are planned.

Notice

EDUCATEAlabama is in review and will reflect stakeholder input soon.

LEADAlabama, the new evaluation system for principals is under development. This site will be updated when development is completed.

PEPE should continue to be used for leader evaluations until LEADAlabama is completed.  To see how principals are currently evaluated, click on "Principal System" in the menu on the left.

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.

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.

Alabama does not link student achievement data to teacher or leader evaluation.

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.
