Recent TNCompass Updates	In response to feedback from the Tennessee Educator Survey, the department will launch a new observation feature in the TNCompass platform for the 2021-22 school year. Within the observation scoring template, observers will now see: A dropdown menu for selecting the reinforcement and refinement indicators. A required open text box to capture specific feedback associated with both the reinforcement and refinement indicators. A required open text box to capture clear next steps for the educator and/or the evaluator. As a result of these changes, Tennessee educators will now be able to clearly view the actionable feedback and next steps provided by their evaluators throughout the observation process.
Past TNCompass Updates	For 2019-20, evaluations should be coded as COVID19 PYE (partial year exemption) in TNCompass. Instructions for completing the COVID19 PYE process can be found here.
