 No specific system is required; however, all teacher and principal evaluation systems must meet the six guidelines for educator evaluation.  Kansas Educator Evaluation Protocol (KEEP) is a model which districts may use.  All adopted evaluation systems will be peer reviewed and approved by KSDE to ensure each of the six guidelines are addressed. 5
