	The Alabama Professional Education Personnel Evaluation (PEPE) Program addresses the resolution adopted by the State Board of Education in July, 1988 establishing policies and procedures requiring the development of a professional education personnel evaluation system in each local school system. However, in the event that any local board of education does not develop such an evaluation system, it is required to use the evaluation system developed by the State Department of Education. The research-based criteria used in the evaluation of professional education personnel were developed by a task force who represented superintendents; supervisors; elementary, middle, and secondary principals and teachers; business/industry; parents; school boards; higher education; specialty areas; and professional organizations and associations. The evaluation systems available as state models are the teacher system, the principal system, the superintendent system, the central office system, the assistant principal system, and the following specialty areas: counselors, psychologists/psychometrists, library media specialists, speech pathologists and special education teachers of students with severe disabilities.
