OPES 2.0 Support Series 2025-2026
This support series is intended to assist Principals, Assistant Principals, and Evaluators with the OPES evaluation process. Each session will begin with a timely learning opportunity and then serve as an opportunity for participants across several counties to develop best practices and collaborate on all aspects of the evaluation system. Educators may join every session or only those that meet their learning/scheduling needs.
