Training from Designated Evaluator Training Providers

Becoming an evaluator designee allows individuals who do not currently hold a principal or administrator license to be the primary evaluator-of-record for licensed educators. In order to become an evaluator designee, interested parties must be trained and certified by a Designated Evaluator Training (DE-Train) Provider. 

The following training providers have been initially approved by CDE for the current school year to train and certify evaluator designees, as identified in state statute, on the Colorado State Model Evaluation System and evaluation methods such as effective observation techniques and providing feedback to licensed educators. As each provider may offer a unique approach, please contact them directly and find one that best meets your needs.
