What is T-PESS?

The Texas Principal Evaluation and Support System (T-PESS) is a new principal evaluation system for the state of Texas designed to support principals in their professional development and help them grow and improve as campus and instructional leaders. It was piloted by approximately 60 districts in the 2014–2015 school year, and implemented as a refined system in the 2015–2016 school year in approximately 200 districts. TPESS will be rolled out statewide in the 2016–2017 year.
