How will principal preparation align with T-PESS?

One of TEA’s major ongoing initiatives is to better align preparation, evaluation, professional development, mentorship, and career pathways around a set of standards and practices that act as a foundation and bring the entire timeline of an educator’s career into alignment. One of the first steps was to establish the principal standards that reinforce the principal’s role as the instructional leader of the campus. In addition, preparation programs will be trained on the new principal evaluation system so that they can build the skills necessary to effectively perform or appraise these practices in both aspiring principals and leaders of principals.
