Advisory
*Please note that the approved instrument list will only include instruments that have met the technical requirements for use in New Jersey. Any district that will be purchasing instruments is required to follow public bidding laws and regulations in acquiring an evaluation instrument and should consult with their Business Administrator (BA) for guidance. If the BA needs additional support, he or she should contact the appropriate county office of education.
**Note that the instruments on the approved list will not have contracts with the state, necessitating that districts develop their own contracts; please refer to our FAQ on public bidding for more information. Additionally, local districts must ensure that they have the supports in place to meet the implementation requirements of the evaluation instrument, such as observer and administrator training and/or proof of mastery. Related details can be found in our evaluation requirement FAQ.
*Instruments are approved only as version/edition specified here; districts that make modifications to an approved instrument must submit the instrument with modifications for separate review through RFQ process
**This list is not inclusive of seven districts with approved evaluation instruments. Each district asked that their evaluation instruments not be published.
