Upcoming ACADEMIES
**********************************************
IAA # 1865
Principal Evaluator Competency Skill Building for Pre-Qualified
Principal Evaluators
A principal evaluator must complete two Administrator Academies to meet retraining requirements. An
individual who is both a teacher and principal evaluator must complete three Administrator Academies.
Academies can be taken in any order. IAA 1865 is a required retraining academy for administrators
who evaluate principals.
Description
The Academy focuses on a high rate of interrater reliability using the required performance evaluation
ratings. Using case studies, the participants will collect evidence and use the Illinois Standards for
Principal Evaluation to rate the principals. Participants will use data collected from the case studies and
compare the data to best practices for evaluating principals and assistant principals. This data will also
be analyzed to prepare administrative and school-level professional development plans. Participants will
prepare targeted professional development, in a collaborative and supportive way, plans that consider
past results and contribute to professional and personal growth. This plan will be aligned to the school
improvement plan. The instructional environment indicators will be analyzed. The purpose of the
evaluation plan will be to communicate the outcomes and findings in such a manner that the principals
and assistant principals set goals for improvement. The participants own personal bias will be analyzed
while making these decisions.
