The Stronge TEPES. EvalScribe supports evaluators who use it.
The Stronge Teacher Effectiveness Performance Evaluation System (TEPES) is published by Stronge & Associates and used by districts and states across the country. EvalScribe supports administrators who already use it. What the model requires, and what each rating means, comes from your district's Stronge documentation.
Stronge Teacher Effectiveness Performance Evaluation System
EvalScribe helps you organize your observation notes by the standards your district evaluates against and draft evidence-anchored feedback you can align to your district's Stronge documentation.
The standards and rating scale belong to the model, and your district's Stronge documentation is the authority on what each rating means. EvalScribe organizes your evidence by the standards your district evaluates against and offers suggested draft ratings for your review. You decide every rating.
Multiple data sources, customized locally
Districts that use the Stronge model decide locally what evidence counts, how it is weighted, and how it rolls into a summative rating.
EvalScribe helps with the observation-based write-up. Student growth data and the overall summative rating are set through the district's process, outside the app.
How EvalScribe works with the Stronge model
EvalScribe supports administrators who use the Stronge model. It organizes the evidence from your observation notes by the standard it relates to, offers suggested draft ratings for your review, and helps you write evidence-anchored feedback you can align to your district's documentation, so the write-up is traceable back to what you observed. You bring your district's rubric and your judgment. EvalScribe helps you write it up.
Scope of the score. EvalScribe helps with the observation-based write-up. Student growth data and the overall summative rating are determined by your district, not the app.
An independent tool. EvalScribe is not affiliated with Dr. James Stronge or Stronge & Associates; it supports administrators who already use the model. Questions about how EvalScribe fits your district's setup? Email [email protected].
How EvalScribe works with the Stronge model.
A five-step path from the back of the classroom to a finished evaluation.
Observe the classroom
Formal observation or walkthrough — capture what you see the way you always have.
Enter notes your way
Type, dictate, or snap a photo of your handwritten notes. Smart Scan converts handwriting to text.
Organize evidence by standard
EvalScribe helps you sort each note by the standard it relates to.
Suggested ratings & comments
Get suggested ratings for your review and feedback language you can align to your district's documentation.
Review & finalize
Edit anything you want, finalize the evaluation, and export a clean PDF for your records.
EvalScribe runs natively on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — work where you are.
Capture notes the way you already work.
No retraining required. Whatever your walkthrough style, EvalScribe accepts it.
Snap a photo
Photograph your handwritten notes mid-walkthrough. Smart Scan OCR converts handwriting to text — even messy handwriting, even pedagogical terms.
Dictate as you go
Speak observations directly into the app. Voice dictation captures what you saw without breaking your eye contact with the classroom.
Type directly
Prefer to type? Enter notes straight into the app — they flow into the same same drafting process as scans and dictation.
Why generic AI falls short for the Stronge model.
Pasting your walkthrough notes into a general-purpose chatbot might produce a paragraph that sounds polished — but for Stronge documentation, "sounds polished" isn't the bar. Defensible evaluations are.
| Capability | Generic AI (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) | EvalScribe |
|---|---|---|
| Framework awareness | ✕Isn't designed around evaluation write-ups or the Stronge model your district uses. Treats every prompt the same. | ✓Works with administrators who use the Stronge model. You apply your district's rubric, and EvalScribe helps you write it up. |
| Evidence organization | ✕Invents labels and rubric language that may not match the Stronge model your district uses. | ✓Organizes your evidence by the standards your district evaluates against so it is ready to hold up against your district's rubric. |
| Practice vs. progress | ✕Blurs the observation write-up together with student growth data. | ✓Helps with the observation write-up and leaves student growth data and the summative rating to the district. |
| Evidence-based ratings | ✕Reacts to a single moment rather than weighing the body of evidence for a standard. | ✓Keeps suggested ratings anchored to the evidence you captured. |
| Note input | ✕Requires you to retype everything before the AI can do anything with it. | ✓Accepts typed notes, dictation, or photos of handwritten notes via Smart Scan OCR. |
| Feedback language | ✕Vague, generic comments that could describe any teacher. | ✓Professional, evidence-anchored feedback you can align to your district's Stronge documentation. |
| Data privacy | ✕Free tiers may use your inputs to train public models. | ✓Enterprise-grade Microsoft Azure. Transient processing. Zero retention. Never used for training. |
| Defensibility | ✕Output you can't trace back to evidence or rubric language. | ✓Every comment is tied to evidence pulled from your notes and the standard it relates to. |

The best way to see it
is to watch it.
Reading about how EvalScribe drafts a Stronge evaluation isn't the same as watching it happen. The demo walks through a real observation, from capture and organizing evidence to suggested ratings and final export.
The draft review screen — every comment, rating, and piece of organized evidence is fully editable before export.

Real feedback from administrators across roles — from academic coaches to assistant superintendents.
EvalScribe is a tool that every public school principal should use. This resource literally makes multiple people out of administrators, allowing them to focus their energies on precise observation analysis and quality feedback while leaving EvalScribe to handle the mechanics. This tool will remove virtually all of the drudgery from the classroom evaluation process and would represent an excellent use of school funds.
Dr. Robert Stinson
Principal
After seeing a detailed demonstration of EvalScribe, I came away very impressed with both the concept and the execution. The platform provides administrators with a practical way to quickly capture classroom observations and generate high-quality, customized feedback that remains aligned to their evaluation framework and local expectations. What stood out most was the balance between efficiency and quality. EvalScribe has the potential to reduce administrative workload while helping school leaders provide more timely and meaningful feedback to teachers — a tool with considerable promise for schools and districts.

This is amazing. I would pay lots of money for this. I’m serious — it’s crazy good. I look forward to using it on a regular basis next year.
Kittie Brown
Assistant Principal
Evaluators spend an inordinate amount of time recording and documenting evaluations. This app is easy to use, affordable, and incredibly efficient. It cuts the time spent recording and documenting evaluations down significantly and frees us up to handle other aspects of the job. Plus, the conference suggestions save on prep time when a conference is warranted.

The Stronge model & EvalScribe — common questions.
Does EvalScribe support the Stronge model?
Yes. EvalScribe supports administrators who use the Stronge Teacher Effectiveness Performance Evaluation System. It helps you organize observation evidence by standard, suggests draft ratings for your review, and helps you write feedback you can align to your district's Stronge documentation. The ratings are yours.
Who decides what each Stronge rating means?
Your district's Stronge documentation and training do. EvalScribe does not define the levels. It offers suggested draft ratings for your review, and you decide every rating.
Does EvalScribe handle student growth data and the summative rating?
No. Student growth is set through your district's goal-setting and student-growth process, and the overall summative rating is set by your district. EvalScribe helps with the observation-based write-up. Growth data and the final rating are handled outside the app.
Is EvalScribe affiliated with Stronge & Associates?
No. The Stronge model belongs to its creators. EvalScribe is an independent tool that supports administrators who already use the model. It is not a substitute for your district's official Stronge materials or scoring platform.
Does EvalScribe replace evaluator judgment?
No. EvalScribe drafts evidence-organized evaluations and suggested ratings. The evaluator reviews, edits, and finalizes every document. The professional judgment is always yours — EvalScribe just removes the typing.
Can the generated evaluations be edited?
Yes, fully. Every comment, every rating, and every piece of organized evidence inside a draft evaluation can be edited before you export the final PDF. You are always the last set of eyes on the document.
Is observation data stored?
Your notes are processed transiently on Microsoft Azure and are not retained on EvalScribe's servers. Your evaluation records sit locally on your device under a local-first architecture. Your data is never used to train public AI models. For more detail, see our Privacy Policy.
How is EvalScribe different from ChatGPT or Claude?
General-purpose AI tools aren't designed around how teacher evaluations are written. They can invent labels, hand out top ratings freely, and produce vague comments. EvalScribe is built for evaluation write-ups and the evaluator workflow around them, from capture through final export.
Where can I read the official Stronge model sources?
The model is published by Stronge & Associates Educational Consulting. Many states and districts that have adopted it — including the Virginia performance standards built on the Stronge model — also post their handbooks and implementation guides publicly.
Which other frameworks does EvalScribe work with?
EvalScribe supports evaluators in all 50 states and Washington D.C., including districts that use widely adopted models such as Danielson, Marzano, Stronge, CEL 5D+, NIET, and Kim Marshall. See evalscribe.com/frameworks.
