What are the components of T-PESS?
T-PESS has three measures of principal effectiveness. The three measures are:
- A rubric capturing the effective practices of high-performing principals
- Progress in achieving goals and initiatives
- Student growth
For the pilot years, student growth was not factored into the overall rating. (See #F.1) Since statewide implementation, the following percentages are assigned to determine the overall rating:
| Experience as principal on particular campus | Rubric Rubric Rubric | Goal-Setting | Student Growth |
| 0 years | 70% | 30% | 0% |
| 1 year | 70% | 20% | 10% |
| 2 or more years | 60% | 20% | 20% |
