Teacher Performance Appraisal (TPA)

"What teachers know and can do makes the most difference in what children learn." ~Linda Darling-Hammond

Our Vision for the TPA

The Albemarle County Public Schools Teacher Performance Appraisal provides a systematic structure to build and ensure a culture of professional learners committed to meeting the educational needs of all students.

The Albemarle County Public Schools Teacher Performance Appraisal is a growth based model designed to meet the needs of teachers in Albemarle County Public Schools. This model attempts to provide more opportunities to elevate the discussion regarding best practices in education as well as the needs of the individual teacher in the professional development process.
