Education in Mississippi
Education Landscape
Mississippi serves approximately 458,000 students across 142 school districts, supported by roughly 31,000 teachers in over 1,000 schools. The state faces significant teacher shortages, particularly in rural and Delta communities. Principals - especially those in small, rural districts who wear multiple hats - need efficient tools to meet evaluation requirements while prioritizing instructional leadership.
Observation Requirements
Mississippi requires all teachers to be evaluated annually. Each teacher must receive at least one formal classroom observation, plus a minimum of two informal observation and feedback cycles. The Professional Growth System combines observation data with teacher self-assessments and artifact review to assign domain ratings on a 1-to-4 scale. Professional Growth Scores are due by June 30 each year.
Framework Spotlight
Supported Frameworks in Mississippi
Mississippi uses the Professional Growth System (PGS) with the Teacher Growth Rubric (TGR), which replaced the former M-STAR system beginning in 2017-2018. The TGR is organized around four domains and nine standards, covering Lesson Design, Student Understanding, Culture and Learning Environment, and Professional Responsibilities. Districts have flexibility to adopt the state TGR or implement their own evaluation systems that meet state guidelines. Observation Copilot helps principals organize evidence by TGR domains so you can focus on coaching conversations instead of paperwork.
