T-PESS Appraisals
The Texas Principal Evaluation and Support System (T-PESS) rubric is aligned to the Texas Principal Standards and the Effective Schools Framework. The rubric clarifies what effective Principals and Assistant Principals should know and be able to do leading to increased consistency and rigor in their evaluation and development process.
The comprehensive T-PESS rubric includes specific domains, indicators, descriptors, and performance levels. An in-depth understanding of how principals will be observed and appraised using the rubric is essential for them to thoroughly engage in the T-PESS process and align actions and behaviors to these effective practices. T-PESS is intended to enhance communication between the Principal Supervisor and Principal with transparency, fairness, and constructive feedback.
