Here are some of the things our beta users have said about the NEW PAETEP:


“I think the layout and general workflow has improved. Teachers have reported an easy transition and no issues.”


Matthew Nebzydoski

Principal of Instruction/Technology/Safety, Blue Ridge School District



The PA-ETEP beta upgrade has been a seamless transition from the Legacy site. It is more convenient than the legacy version in that you can get an overview of what has been submitted and completed for all your teachers on the Supervision Management page. It is easier to navigate and easier to track observations. Additionally, the customer service has been very responsive to any questions or support needs.”


Shawn Cruice

Principal, West Chester Area School District



"I wanted to express my appreciation for the new PA-ETEP tool – it has truly been a game-changer. The user-friendly interface and intuitive design have significantly improved the overall experience. Navigating through the site is a breeze, thanks to its cleanliness and well-organized sections. It's refreshing to see how easy it is to identify tasks and quickly understand what needs attention or assistance. The layout promotes efficiency, allowing for a seamless navigation process. The tool's user-friendliness has not only saved time but has also contributed to a more positive workflow. The clean design makes it easy to focus on essential tasks without unnecessary distractions."
