PA-ETEP is Pennsylvania’s electronic teacher evaluation portal for educators. PA-ETEP is designed to facilitate the PA Department of Education’s new teacher evaluation process.  It has been developed through a partnership between Midwestern Intermediate Unit IV and EduLink, Inc.  This web-based tool guides and supports all steps of the Pennsylvania Teacher Effectiveness model from Pre-Observation to Final Walk-through.  PA-ETEP is fully aligned to the PDE adopted process and allows for real time access to evidence and feedback for both the teacher and supervisor.  Each interaction is documented for record-keeping and authentication with a time and date stamp.  This system has a user friendly interface that eliminates the need for the exchange of paper documentation and enhances efficiency and accuracy.
