Whitman Elementary - Tulsa Public Schools

The TLE evaluation process is comprised of observations and evaluations. Every
evaluation must be supported by (built upon) at least two observations in addition to the
principal’s overall assessment of the teacher’s performance.
Career teachers must be evaluated at least once a year.
Probationary teachers must be evaluated at least twice a year.
Observations are a principal's intentional study and analysis of the teacher's performance (e.g.,
the teacher's classroom instruction). The principal's assessment is guided by the detailed descriptions of
the Teacher's Rubric. The principal's assessments of the teacher's performance during the observation
must be recorded in the Observation Form, described in more detail in Section 5. Each observation
must be followed by an observation conference held no more than five (5) instructional days from the
date of the observation. An evaluation conference is held within five (5) instructional days from the
date of the evaluation.
