(Appraiser Pre-assessment & Pre-evaluation Conference)
The rubric serves as the foundation for Texas Principal Evaluation and Support System. It should be
used throughout the process to monitor principals’ progress toward consistently using practices that
leadership research has identified as necessary to improve the amount of learning that takes place in
a school.
The T-PESS Rubric should be completed by principals as a self-assessment of the
performance during the year. Appraisers will use the rubric to complete their assessment of the
principals’ performance for the same time period. Likewise, the principal and evaluator will use this
rubric as a guide for performance discussions and as a tool to determine the final evaluation rating for
the principal.
Instructions: Each year principals should assess their own performance using the T-PESS
self-assessment rubric in preparation for the Beginning-of-Year Conference. The appraiser may
also complete this as a pre-assessment. Local policy/procedures will outline the expectations for
principal and appraiser completion of BOY assessment process. For example, local policy/
procedure will determine if the principal is to submit the self-assessment to the appraiser
prior to the BOY conference. This self-assessment will serve as the basis for establishing
professional growth goals.

Beginning-of-Year Goal Setting Form
(For BOY Conference)
Instructions: Beginning of Year Goal Setting / Professional Development Plan
Principals complete a self-assessment using the T-PESS Rubric providing an opportunity for them to
reflect on their current level of practice in relation to the Texas Principal Standards and serving as the
basis for establishing professional growth goals. It is essential that the goal-setting process prioritizes
areas of development for the principal as a professional, independent of campus-related needs. The
primary goal is focused on the principal’s individual growth as a professional. Principals will also set a
second goal related to student growth on their campus. Although principals may choose to establish
more than two goals, it is not required and any additional goals should be considered carefully so as
not to dilute their energies from the two required goals.
The Self-Assessment and Goal Setting step is central to the core intent that the T-PESS process
guide self-reflection, inform professional development, and personify continuous growth and
improvement.
Principals should use the following criteria when completing the Beginning-of-Year Goal Setting
Forms:
• Principals should conduct a comprehensive review of the T-PESS rubric in preparation for
completing the Principal Self-Assessment.
• Principals shall set at least two goals; one goal must focus on developing an aspect of the
principal’s practice while the second goal must focus on an aspect of student growth.
• The strategies and actions to be taken over the course of the year should be outlined in the
GSPD plan (goal setting and professional development), along with the expected outcomes,
time line for achievement, and the resources needed for attainment.
The Beginning-of-Year Conference provides the principal and the appraiser an opportunity to engage
in collaborative conversations. At this meeting, the principal and the appraiser discuss the principal’s
Self-Assessment and the principal’s proposed goals. The primary purpose of the BOY Conference is
to give the principal and the appraiser an opportunity to discuss professional practice in relation to the
five principal standards.
In preparation for the BOY Conference:
• The principal will submit (1) a copy of his or her completed Self-Assessment and (2) his or her
draft goals – one for professional practice and one for student growth.
• The appraiser will review (1) the results of the principal’s Self-Assessment and the previous
year’s summary ratings (if a continuing principal) and (2) the principal’s draft goals.
Additional information on Principal Self-Assessment & Goal-Setting and the BOY conference is
available in the T-PESS Participant Manual.
