Name of evaluation system
Comprehensive Evaluation System For School Administrators
Description of evaluation system
The system is composed of two categories: Student Educational Outcomes (50%) and Principal Leadership Practice (50%). The student educational outcomes are based on five targets chosen by the principal and evaluator and may include growth, proficiency, absenteeism, gap rate, or other academic measures. The Principal Leadership Practice category is measured via a rubric collecting observations and artifacts.
Frequency of performance evaluation
Probationary and tenured transferring principals receive an annual evaluation. Tenured principals receive an interim evaluation annually for 4 years, followed by a summative evaluation in the fifth year.
Intended use of performance evaluation
The performance evaluations inform principal professional development and tenure decisions.
