Nevada NEPF Teacher Evaluation Software
Run NEPF evaluations across the instructional practice and professional responsibilities standards, aligned to Nevada's requirements and built for your evaluators.
NEPF is the entry point, not the whole story. In EX in Education, NEPF evaluations connect to coaching, goals, PD, and retention, so every educator moves from hired to thriving.
NEPF Classroom Observation
Nevada's NEPF Evaluation Framework
The Nevada Educator Performance Framework is the statewide system for evaluating teachers. It combines instructional practice standards, professional responsibilities standards, and student performance into a single summative rating. In EX in Education, that framework is the doorway into a connected system for coaching, PD, and retention.
Three Weighted Domains
NEPF combines two educator-practice domains with a student performance measure. Each is pre-configured in EX so evaluators score against Nevada's standards without rebuilding forms.
- Instructional Practice Standards, weighted 65%
- Professional Responsibilities Standards, weighted 20%
- Student Performance, weighted 15%
- One summative rating on a four-level scale
Educational Growth Goals
During the 2025 legislative session, SB 460 transitioned Student Learning Goals to Educational Growth Goals, scored on a five-point scale. EX tracks the goal evidence alongside observation results.
- Student performance stays at 15% of the summative rating
- Educational Growth Goals replace Student Learning Goals
- Scored on a five-point scale
- Districts set goals with approved measures
Complete NEPF Framework Coverage
Both NEPF standards domains are pre-built in EX in Education, so Nevada evaluators can observe, score, and generate evidence against the state framework from day one.
Instructional Practice Standards
Five standards, weighted 65%, covering the high-leverage practices of effective classroom teaching.
- 1. New learning is connected to prior learning and experience
- 2. Learning tasks have high cognitive demand for diverse learners
- 3. Students engage in meaning-making through discourse and other strategies
- 4. Students engage in metacognitive activity to increase understanding
- 5. Assessment is integrated into instruction
Professional Responsibilities Standards
Five standards, weighted 20%, covering the work of teaching beyond the observed lesson.
- 1. Commitment to the school community
- 2. Reflection on professional growth and practice
- 3. Professional obligations
- 4. Family engagement
- 5. Student perception
Formal Observations
- • Evidence tied to the instructional practice standards
- • Pre- and post-observation conversations
- • Scored on the four-level rating scale
- • Number and length follow your district's NEPF protocol
Informal Walkthroughs
- • Brief, frequent classroom visits
- • Formative feedback between formal cycles
- • Announced or unannounced
- • Cadence set by district practice
What changed for 2025-26: The 2025 legislative session (SB 460) transitioned Student Learning Goals to Educational Growth Goals, scored on a five-point scale and still weighted at 15% of the summative evaluation. EX keeps formal observations, walkthroughs, and growth-goal evidence together, with reminders so districts stay on cycle.
NEPF Performance Ratings, Tracked Over Time
NEPF produces one of four final ratings. EX in Education records each rating, ties it to the evidence behind it, and carries it forward so growth is visible from one cycle to the next.
Highly Effective
Summative score in the 3.60 to 4.0 range
Effective
Summative score in the 2.80 to 3.59 range
Developing
Summative score in the 1.91 to 2.79 range
Ineffective
Summative score in the 1.0 to 1.9 range
A teacher's summative rating combines instructional practice (65%), professional responsibilities (20%), and student performance (15%) into one of four levels. Teachers rated Developing or Ineffective typically receive additional support and more frequent evaluation. EX in Education keeps each teacher's rating history, the evidence behind it, and any improvement plans in one place, and routes the ones who need support into coaching cycles so a rating leads to next steps, not just a score.
