Principal appraisers play an important role in student achievement by providing principals with the guidance and feedback they need to be balanced, effective leaders. Your purpose is to give principals an objective, standards-based evaluation they can use to guide their own professional growth and development. By communicating the standards of T-PESS with fairness, transparency, and constructive feedback, you are helping redefine and strengthen the larger system of educator quality and effectiveness in Texas.

This training certifies new appraisers to use T-PESS to evaluate principals and assistant principals using the updated 2020 rubric.

If you are already a certified T-PESS appraiser, you only need the 1/2 day T-PESS Appraiser UPDATE training.
