Update on Teacher Evaluation (Elevate NM) for the 2020-2021 School Year:
There will be NO Teacher Evaluation Summative Reports generated by the New Mexico Public Education Department for the school year 2020-2021. This year the New Mexico Public Education Department is asking all educators (both administrators and teachers) to “test drive” the new teacher evaluation called Elevate NM.

IMPORTANT DATES AND DEADLINES
*Please Note: Due to the fact that the Frontline Platform will not be ready until the second week in September, we encourage all teachers to complete their Professional Development Plan (PDP) on a Word or Google doc and upload it later to the Frontline platform. We expect PDP’s to be completed by mid-October but the deadline to have them uploaded in Frontline will be Monday, November 2, 2020.
