Oregon Teacher Evaluation Software
Run evaluations that fit the Oregon Framework, across all three required measures, then combine them on the Oregon Matrix into a single performance level your district defines.
Evaluation is the entry point, not the whole story. In EX in Education, Oregon Framework evaluations connect to coaching, goals, PD, and retention, so every educator moves from hired to thriving.
Oregon Framework Summary
Oregon's Framework for Evaluation and Support
Under Senate Bill 290, Oregon districts build their own evaluation and support systems within a common state framework. There is no single statewide rubric. Each district adopts an instrument aligned to state standards, combines three required measures, and reports one of four performance levels. In EX in Education, that framework is the doorway into a connected system for coaching, PD, and retention.
Three Measures, Combined
The Oregon Framework requires evidence from three categories, combined together rather than scored in isolation. EX holds all three in one record.
- Professional Practice
- Professional Responsibilities
- Student Learning and Growth
- Four performance levels, Level 1 to Level 4
Your Rubric, Your Instrument
Oregon does not mandate one rubric. Districts adopt a local instrument aligned to the Model Core Teaching Standards. EX lets you bring your own, or start from a template.
- No single statewide rubric to conform to
- Built on the Model Core Teaching Standards
- At least two student learning and growth goals
- Configure the form to match your district
The Oregon Cycle of Evaluation
The Oregon Framework describes a cycle that moves from reflection to a summative rating. Each stage is built into EX in Education, so Oregon districts can run their local process end to end and keep the evidence in one place.
Self-Reflection & Goal Setting
Educators reflect on their practice and set goals with their evaluator to open the cycle.
- Self-reflection on practice and standards
- Professional growth goals
- At least two student learning and growth goals
- Set collaboratively with the evaluator
Observation & Evidence
Evaluators gather evidence of practice through observations and artifacts over the cycle.
- Classroom observations
- Evidence tied to the district rubric
- Artifacts and professional records
- Timing and frequency set locally
Formative Assessment
Evidence is reviewed together mid-cycle so feedback can shape the rest of the year.
- Feedback conferences
- Progress toward goals
- Ongoing professional growth
- Course corrections before the summative
Summative & Growth Plan
The three measures come together on the Oregon Matrix for a final performance level.
- Combine measures on the Oregon Matrix
- One of four performance levels
- Professional growth plan
- Springboard into the next cycle
Formal Observations
- Scheduled classroom observations
- Feedback conferences with the educator
- Written feedback tied to the rubric
- Length and count set by district policy
Informal Walkthroughs
- Brief, ongoing classroom visits
- Announced or unannounced
- Timely, low-stakes feedback
- Number set by district policy
State framework, local implementation: Oregon sets the parameters through the Oregon Framework for Teacher and Administrator Evaluation and Support Systems. Districts decide the specifics locally, including the rubric or instrument, the observation cycle, and how performance levels are labeled. EX in Education is configurable to your district's system rather than a fixed statewide form, so evaluators work inside the process your district actually adopted.
Four Performance Levels, Tracked Over Time
Oregon evaluation systems report one of four performance levels, from Level 1 to Level 4. Districts assign their own labels. EX in Education records each level, ties it to the evidence behind it, and carries it forward so growth is visible from one cycle to the next.
Level 4
Highest level of effectiveness across the measures
Level 3
Meets expectations with proficient practice
Level 2
Developing, with support needed in some areas
Level 1
Lowest level, requiring significant support
In the Oregon Matrix, evidence from Professional Practice and Professional Responsibilities intersects with Student Learning and Growth to produce one summative performance level and a professional growth plan. Evaluators weigh evidence from all three categories together rather than averaging scores. Educators at lower levels are typically supported with plans of assistance and mentoring. EX in Education keeps each educator's level history, cycle schedule, and growth 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.

Why Oregon Districts Run Evaluations Inside EX in Education
Run your Oregon Framework system faithfully, then use what the evaluation surfaces to actually grow and keep your teachers. Evaluation is the doorway. Educator growth and retention is the product.
Less admin, more coaching
Structured workflows and feedback tools free evaluators to spend more of their time in coaching conversations, not paperwork.
Consistent across schools
Your district rubric and process live in one place, so evaluators score consistently, whether it is one building or the whole district.
Growth you can see
Performance levels, goals, and coaching history sit together, so progress is visible over time instead of scattered across files.
Retention, not just ratings
When feedback connects to PD, goals, and support, teachers keep developing, and districts keep the ones they worked hard to hire.
