UPDATED T-PESS RUBRIC

    • 2020-2021 School Year - BOTH the previous T-PESS rubric and the updated T-PESS rubric were considered valid appraisal instruments that meet the requirements of the Commissioner's recommended principal appraisal system in accordance with Texas Education Code (TEC) §21.3541.  A 1/2 day Rubric Update training was provided throughout the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years. If you were not able to attend one of those sessions, you will need to attend one of the 1-day trainings listed above. 
    • 2021-2022 School Year and beyond - ONLY the updated T-PESS rubric meets the requirements of the commissioner's recommended principal appraisal system in accordance with (TEC). In addition, a T-PESS assistant principal rubric that is aligned with the updated principal rubric is available for LEAs that choose to use this option.
