2011 Wisconsin Act 166 mandates all public school districts and 2R charter schools to use the WI EE System to evaluate teachers and principals.
Required educators are defined by the roles and duties that are performed, not job title.

This tool can be used to locally determine which staff members are mandated in accordance with WI Act 166 to be evaluated using the teacher or principal evaluation processes of the Wisconsin Educator Effectiveness System.
Evaluation of Pupil Services/Other Staff
DPI consultants, in conjunction with supporting Wisconsin organizations, have created optional rubrics and evaluation systems for staff roles for whom the teacher evaluation rubric and process is not appropriate. These optional evaluation rubrics and processes are based on appropriate role-based national standards. The processes used to evaluate staff who are not specifically mandated by Act 166 is a local decision. More information:
