(TPGES)
Myths Busted and Lessons
Learned
Why do we have to change?
Every student is taught by an effective teacher and
every school is led by an effective principal.
Fair and equitable statewide system to provide
teachers and principals with a clear expectations
and supports to improve effectiveness.

OPGES pilot
Why will my peers evaluate me?
• Peer observers will NOT rate or evaluate a
colleague.
• Peer observers conduct a mini observation to
collect evidence on specific look-fors
identified by the teacher.
• Teachers have the opportunity to receive
feedback to allow for continuous
improvement.
I am being judged by test scores!
• PGES uses multiple evidences that determine
the effectiveness rating of a teacher.
I always meet expectations for ALL
standards!
• The Framework for Teaching is divided into
four categories: Ineffective, Developing,
Accomplished, and Exemplary
• The framework provides descriptors for each
component to help identify effectiveness in
specific areas and guides where to go next.
• Accomplished is the goal for all teachers.
Why do students get input on how I am
evaluated?
• Students DO NOT determine effectiveness,
rather their input on the student voice survey
provides an opportunity for teachers to reflect
and identify areas of improvement.
• Provides another source of evidence for
reflection on effectivness
Will this system really help me grow?
