PEER REVIEWERS

The TN Department of Education's Educator Effectiveness Team is seeking to contract portfolio peer reviewers from across the state to review and score submitted portfolio collections.

In order to qualify to be a Peer reviewer, one must:

• have demonstrated content area, grade level, instructional experience, and effectiveness.
• be detail-oriented and demonstrate a rich understanding of standards
• be familiar with scoring student work
• be comfortable using and have access to technology
• be able to articulate confidence in the portfolio model to demonstrate student growth
• be available to conduct peer reviews throughout the scoring window, May 28 - June 14
• commit to confidentiality

Applicants must meet all requirements of the solicitation and submit an application no later than 5 p.m. CST on March 29, 2024. Applications will be scored on a rubric aligned to the information shared above.
