Frameworks and Rubrics

Washington has developed eight evaluator criteria for teachers and principals. All of the Teacher and Principal Evaluation Program (TPEP) Frameworks include these evaluation criteria and are used throughout the entire evaluation process. The state evaluation criteria and the frameworks are the foundation for the evaluation program.
