Principal Guide to Completing a Professional Practice Evaluation

A teacher will display in the 'In Process' or 'Not Started' segment of the Professional Practice dashboard pie chart if their Professional Practice evaluation status has not yet been set to complete. A teacher who has a 'Complete' status Professional Practice evaluation means that all of their minimum Professional Practice requirements have been fulfilled.
