User roles in PEERS

Within PEERS, users are Evaluators and Educators. Both of these roles can be assigned to users at the school or district.

Evaluators complete evaluations for Educators assigned to them.

  • All Evaluators can add and remove evaluations, enter information and ratings in evaluations, and mark evaluations as Ready for Conference. (This assumes the evaluation status gives the Evaluator edit capability.)
  • District Administrators and Administrative Evaluators are the only Evaluators who can release evaluations that are Ready for Conference.

Educators receive evaluations from supervisors.

With the exception of District Administrators and Administrative Evaluators, any user can have both roles in PEERS. Users with both roles switch between Educator and Evaluator.

Related user roles in PVAAS

All district administrators and school administrators automatically get access to PEERS. For any other user to have access to PEERS, they must have an active PVAAS account that is either linked to an Educator in PEERS or that has the Evaluator permission for PEERS.
