Teacher Effectiveness Measure (TEM): Summative Process

TEM Student Perception Options There are multiple layers of TEM-aligned support available for teachers. School level support Your principal is the first line of support and will provide guidance around which school-level support is the best fit for your specific needs. Regional support Regional support teams have developed TEM-aligned support. Regional support options will be made available to you so that you and your principal can determine which regional-level support is the right fit for your professional needs.
