Education in Indiana
Education Landscape
Indiana serves approximately 1 million students across roughly 290 school corporations and over 1,700 schools. The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) sets statewide requirements for teacher evaluation, and principals are responsible for conducting multiple observations per year for every teacher. The state provides the RISE model as a ready-to-use evaluation system, though corporations may develop their own plans to fit local needs.
Observation Requirements
Under Indiana Code, all teachers must receive an annual evaluation. The RISE model requires a minimum of one extended observation lasting at least 40 minutes and at least three short, unannounced observations of 10 minutes or more - with at least one short observation per semester. Primary evaluators must provide meaningful written feedback after each observation. Teachers rated Improvement Necessary or Ineffective may receive additional observations and support.
Framework Spotlight
Supported Frameworks in Indiana
Indiana provides the RISE Evaluation and Development System as the state model for teacher evaluation. Districts may adopt RISE in its entirety or develop their own locally adapted evaluation plan. RISE organizes teacher performance into four domains: Planning, Instruction, Leadership, and Core Professionalism. Observation Copilot maps your notes directly to these RISE domains so you can focus on coaching conversations instead of paperwork.
