About Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project

The Teacher and Principal Evaluation and Growth Program (TPEP) is based on these core principles:

  • High quality teaching and leading are key to student success
  • Growth in practice is development in nature
  • Growth occurs best when there are clear standards of practice supported by quality professional learning and learning-focused feedback
  • Evaluation systems should reflect and address the career continuum
  • The focus for teacher and principal growth should be driven by student learning needs

Evaluation Guidance for 2020-2021

The TPEP Steering committee put together new guidance around Comprehensive evaluations for the 2020-21 school year only.

  • Please see Bulletin 063-20 for details
  • Guidance on having a single Student Growth Goal (criterion 3 0r 6) this year for teachers on a modified Comprehensive evaluation and criterion related ideas for teaching in a virtual setting will be released in early September.

About eVAL

eVAL is a web-based tool designed to manage the evaluation process and documentation. Developed in partnership with the Washington Education Association, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Educational Service District 113, eVAL is:

  • free resource created with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (link is external);
  • personalized for each district for their instructional framework, resources, and documents;
  • available and voluntary for all Washington K-12 public school districts, who can use as many or as few of eVAL’s features as they’d like (or non at all); and
  • extremely secure with limited access physically and virtually to its servers.

The system is an EDS application and hosted in a state of the art network operations center. The site is physically secured, monitored 24 hours a day, and backed up continuously.
