Teacher Quality System

KIPP Texas Teacher Quality System

One of the greatest drivers of student success is teacher quality, and one of the most effective ways to strengthen teacher quality is through best-in-class observation, coaching, and evaluation. When teachers are expertly observed, coached, and evaluated within a clear and coherent system aligned to key instructional priorities, their effectiveness increases—resulting in stronger student learning outcomes and growth. And when their compensation is then tied to this effectiveness, retention improves.

KIPP Texas Evaluation System

The KIPP Texas Teacher Quality System includes four components:

Student Growth & Achievement:
Teacher Practice (60%) as assessed on the KIPP Texas Framework for Effective Teaching by the school leader, as measured by ratings at the End-of Year.
Quality of Instruction:
Student Growth (30%) based on different assessments as determined by grade and subject matter.

Student & Family Relationships:
Student & Family Satisfaction (5%) as assessed by the Panorama survey that will be conducted in the spring.
KIPP Texas Core Values:
Professionalism & Core Values (5%) as assessed by the school leader/API

Each of these components will have a different associated weight and input that will determine the overall score for that component. Taking those four components together, a teacher will receive a formal evaluation (see the development and growth section for more information) during their final EOY conversation. 

Placement, Rewards, & Recognition

Teachers are placed or advanced at the conclusion of each year. After placement, teachers are eligible for a wide variety of rewards and recognition associated with each of our stages.
