Add an Evaluator or Administrative Evaluator

A School Admin or Administrative Evaluator can add the Evaluator permission to a school or district user's PVAAS account unless that user's account already has the permission.

If you are not already viewing the Add Evaluator window, follow these steps to open it:

  1. In the PEERS section of the Reports menu, select Manage Access.
  2. Select school users or district users. This window displays users who already have the Evaluator permission. Verify that the user does not already have the permission.
  3. Click Add Evaluator.

The Add Evaluator window displays active users who do not already have the Evaluator permission.

Select the check box for each user who should have the Evaluator permission and click Add Evaluator. The user's account is updated and the next time they log in to PVAAS, they will see PEERS in the Reports menu.

If you don't see the user's PVAAS account in the Add Evaluator window, follow these steps to create a new PVAAS account for the user:

  1. Click the account I'm looking for is not in this list.
  2. Click Create a New Evaluator.
  3. Enter information about the user and click Create New Evaluator.

You will return to the A-E section of the list of users who have the Evaluator permission. If the name of the user you added starts with something other than A-E, select the corresponding alphabetic tab to view the user.

An evaluator can assign one or more educators and an Administrative Evaluator can assign one or more educators to the new evaluator.

A District Administrator can add the Evaluator or Administrative Evaluator permission to a district user's PVAAS account.

  • An Evaluator can view and modify evaluations for the educators assigned to them.
  • An Administrative Evaluator can perform every action that a District Administrator can perform, except an Administrative Evaluator cannot add or remove other Administrative Evaluators.

If you are not already viewing the Add Evaluator or Add Administrative Evaluator window, follow these steps to open it:

  1. In the PEERS section of the Reports menu, select Manage Access.
  2. Select district users. This window displays district users who already have either the Evaluator or Administrative Evaluator permission. Verify that the user you want to modify does not already have the permission that you want to add.
  3. Click either Add Evaluator or Add Administrative Evaluator.

The Add Evaluator window displays active district users in your district who do not already have either the Evaluator or Administrative Evaluator permission.

Select the check box for each user who should have the permission you selected and click either Add Evaluator or Add Administrative Evaluator. The district user's account is updated and the next time they log in to PVAAS, they will see PEERS in the Reports menu.

If you don't see the district user's PVAAS account in the Add Evaluator or Add Administrative Evaluator window, follow these steps to create a new PVAAS account for the user:

  1. Click the account I'm looking for is not in this list.
  2. Click Create a New Evaluator or Create a New Administrative Evaluator.
  3. Enter information about the user and click Create New Evaluator.
