NTPE Other role for Non-Supervisors


In some cases, it may be more appropriate to identify a Teacher as an NTPE.  For example, a school district may have an Instructional Coach, that does not have teaching responsibilities and may thus want to consider them an NTPE and complete an 13-3 form.  According to PDE, this is an LEA decision.  When making these decisions, PDE recommends that the district consult their solicitor.  For guidance from PDE, please contacRA-PDE-Evaluation@pa.gov.

NTPE Other role for Supervisors


In addition to the NTPE Other role, there is also a NTPE Other Supervisor role.  School District Admin users can elect to use this role when the building principal and/or one of the four NTPE Supervisor roles (Supervisor of Special Education, Supervisor of Curriculum & Instruction, Supervisor of Pupil Services, Supervisor of Vocational Education) are not appropriate.

Please note that is this NTPE Other Supervisor needs supervision rights they will also need to be given the NTPE Supervisor role... the NTPE Supervisor role gives NTPE supervisors (Supervisor of Special Education, Supervisor of Curriculum & Instruction, Supervisor of Pupil Services, Supervisor of Vocational Education, and NTPE Other Supervisor) the ability to supervise both teachers and NTPE non-supervisors.
