Key Issues
‣ This new evaluation system is part of an early adoption of SB 2033 by Tulsa Public Schools. Ideally,
the state will take advantage of the work TPS has done, and adopt a statewide evaluation system
that aligns with Tulsa’s system.
‣ Technology solutions for the entry, analysis and data reporting in year one have been inadequate. A
technology solution that will interface with the new Munis Finance and HR system is desired and
being pursued.
‣ Human Capital is determining the number of board hearings that will be required for performancebased
terminations. The schedule could be challenging.
Strategic Objective B
Continue the enhancement of human capital functions that assures: 1) a pipeline of highquality
principals, teachers and staff, prepared to be effective in an urban setting; 2)
targeted and coordinated evidence-based development of leaders and teachers.
Progress and Accomplishments
‣ Two urban teacher pipeline agreements have been executed with local universities, and a third is
under construction.
‣ Evidence-based Gallup screening instruments have been put in place as part of the teacher and
principal recruiting process. Applicants must take these surveys online as part of the application
process, and threshold scores have been established.
‣ A TPS conference for building leaders⎯Great Educators Make Great Schools⎯will take place in
June, to kick off a year of focused professional development for district leadership.
‣ A new evidence-based leadership development plan is under development, with plans to implement
during the 2011–12 school year.
