Education in Kansas
Education Landscape
Kansas serves approximately 500,000 students across 286 unified school districts, supported by roughly 36,000 teachers. The Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) oversees educator evaluation policy, providing the KEEP framework as the default model while allowing districts to submit alternative evaluation protocols for approval.
Observation Requirements
Under Kansas statute, teacher evaluations cannot be based on a single observation and must incorporate multiple observations alongside other measures of professional practice and student growth. During their first two consecutive years of employment, educators must be evaluated at least once per semester by February 15. After the fourth year, educators must be evaluated at least once every three years.

Districts have significant local flexibility and may adopt alternative evaluation protocols, including Danielson FFT, Marzano-based models, or locally developed systems. Observation Copilot supports Danielson FFT and Marzano out of the box, making it a natural fit for Kansas principals regardless of which approved framework their district has adopted.
