The EE System is for Learning-Centered Evaluation of
Teachers, Principals, and Assistant/Associate Principals
See the WI EE System Policy Guide for requirement details.
Required educators are defined by the roles and duties that are performed, not job title.
Flowchart to Identify Mandated Educators
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 Staff in Other Roles
DPI consultants, in conjunction with supporting Wisconsin organizations and practitioners, 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 Wis. Stat. § 115.415 is a local decision.
The WI-created evaluations listed below are available for use in the Frontline Education Professional Growth platform. For information about setup in your local platform, contact the DPI Help Center for Support of Frontline.

Coaches
The developers of the WI Coaching Competency Practice Profile (CCPP) developed an evaluation rubric aligned to the CCPP and other standards. This evaluation has been developed to evaluate different types of coaches: instructional, teams, and systems. The evaluation processes align to other WI-created, learning-centered evaluations, but have some variations that address the unique role of coaches within the education system.
REVISED FOR 22-23: The WI Coach Evaluation Rubric has been revised to better support systemic equity conversations and coaching practices. See the WI Coach Evaluation Rubric, process forms, and evidence collection guidance is available on the WI Coaching Evaluation webpage.
The rubric and forms have been automatically added and made available in the Frontline Education platform for state model districts and independent charters. Districts and independent charters can contact the DPI Help Center for Support of Frontline to request the configuration of the evaluation for use or to update current configurations to the new practice rubric.
