Oklahoma Teacher and Leader Evaluation System (TLE)
During the 2010 Regular Session, the Oklahoma Legislature passed SB 2033. The Legislature mandated some elements of the TLE and required that the Oklahoma State Board of Education adopt additional guidelines of the TLE by December 15, 2011. By the 2013-2014 school year, each school district in the State must adopt a teacher and principal evaluation policy based on the statewide TLE System.
The TLE will have a five-tier rating system.SuperiorHighly effectiveEffectiveNeeds improvementIneffective
