This is the required administrator academy retraining course for principal and teacher evaluators who are renewing their designations to evaluate staff.  This course is also needed for initial principal evaluation.

Participants will learn how to:

1. Use assessments and measurement models identified by the joint committee in determining the student growth attributable to individual teachers/principals and understand how different types of assessments are used for measuring growth;
2. Use data from the evaluation rubric, other evidence collected, and best practices relative to evaluating student growth to link teacher/principal and school-level professional development plans to evaluation results;
3. Create, in collaboration with teachers/principals, supportive, targeted professional development plans that consider past results, contribute to professional growth, and assist teachers/principals in aligning professional development and goal setting to school improvement goals;
4. Communicate evaluation outcomes and findings in constructive and supportive ways that enable teachers/principals to set goals and improve practice.

This training will be held on December 7, 2023 from 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. at the Jon Davis Wrestling Center in Edwardsville, IL. Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. The cost to attend this academy is $200/person and lunch will be provided.
