Oklahoma Teacher and Leader Evaluation
System (TLE)
During
the 2010 Regular Session, the Oklahoma
Legislature passed SB 2033.
 The Legislature mandated some elements of the TLE
and required that the Oklahoma State Board of
Education adopt additional guidelines of the TLE by
December 15, 2011.
 By the 2013-2014 school year, each school district in
the State must adopt a teacher and
principal evaluation policy based on the
statewide TLE System.
The TLE will have a five-tier rating system.
