All required Student Growth Portfolio submissions for eligible teachers were due in TNPortfolio on May 8. The submission window is now closed. Portfolio scores will be available in the TeachAll platform on July 6. The overall portfolio score is determined by averaging the four evidence collection growth scores and converting that average to a scaled level from 1-5. 

A portfolio will be assigned an Incomplete (I) and the teacher’s LOE (Level of Overall Effectiveness) score will NOT generate for the 2025-26 school year if any of the four collections were not 100% complete by the deadline. These educators will also be assigned to the Novice track in PLZ for SY26-27 and will receive 4 observations. 

If you have questions regarding Student Growth Portfolios, please contact Floresha Smith, District Portfolio Lead.
