Qualified Evaluator Training

August 13, 2026

The Arizona Department of Education has developed an exciting 2-day professional learning opportunity for Assistant Principals, Deans of Students, TOAs/TOSAs, Principals, and others charged with the responsibility of observing and evaluating teachers.

The 2-day, in-person Qualified Evaluator Training (QET): A Better Way to Evaluate is designed to provide tools, strategies, and resources to assist with supporting teacher practice throughout the supervision and evaluation process.

QET is for aspiring, new, and veteran principals, assistant principals, coaches, mentors, and other instructional leaders seeking to elevate their coaching and leadership skills while meeting the criteria for being a qualified evaluator. This training meets the criteria stated in ARS §15-537(F) for qualified evaluators.
