Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) TAPS Teacher Evidence Binder

This resource is a Georgia Teacher's life saver! An organizational binder designed specifically for Teacher Keys and Teacher Assessment On Performance Standards (TKES/TAPS)

I hope that this binder will save you lots of time and energy, while helping you understand what is required of us with the new state evaluation system. I have spent countless hours this year researching, in training, at the TKES feedback session, on the state website, and watching the {valuable} modules. I have been confused about the TKES implementation for a large portion of the school year and decided to do something about it. This product is a result of that. I can truly say that this experience (while frustrating) has made me a better teacher.

That being said, all ideas here are my own intellectual property. Some of the wording has been “gleaned” and formatted for teacher-friendly use from notes I have taken while researching on https://tle.gadoe.org/ This product is in no way endorsed by the State of Georgia.

While I recognize that our documentation must be uploaded to the state platform, our administration requires us to have a binder and I do believe it is easier to keep track of and organize. I am a very visual person and knowing exactly what I need to provide evidence for will help my school year run more smoothly. I will be making changes as we begin full implementation next year and I am very open to feedback. I would love to add more to the file to make it easier for us to show what we do on a daily basis in an organized way.

See the *Preview* for a good idea as to what is included.

I believe my district provided good training as to what it is I will be evaluated on. However, I was very unclear about "how" to maintain my documentation and exactly they are looking for for artifacts and evidence of my teaching. The checklists are a perfect way to self-check, reflect, be proactive, and get organized.

This binder is a way for us to show what we do every day, in an organized way!
