This 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 Evaluations to rate the principals.  Participants will use date 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.

Administrators who evaluate teachers must demonstrate a high rate of interrater reliability, ad communicate evaluation outcomes in constructive and supportive ways.  Administrators who evaluate teachers must also recognize and control for bias when conducting an evaluation and determining results.  School districts in Illinois must provide professional development to administrators to strengthen these skills on a sustained basis.  This course focuses on Domains 1 and 4, and is intended to move administrators who have passed the ISBE evaluator training, and who are very familiar with Charlotte Danielson's 2011/2013 Framework for Teaching, from compliance to competency.  This course requires participants to pre-conference, record data according to the Professional Practice rubric, and participate in mock pre/post conferences as evaluator, teacher, and observer.  Participants will also be expected to have a high degree of interrater reliability when they determine a final rating based on the evidence gathered for Domains 1 and 4.

This is the one required student growth retraining course for teacher evaluators who are renewing their designations required to evaluate staff.  Evaluators will be required to participate in a pre-session webinar that will review Part 50 Administrative Rules as they relate to student growth.  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 goals setting to school improvement goals; and 4. Communicate evaluation outcomes and findings in constructive and supportive ways that enable teachers/principals to set goals and improve practice.  AA #3000/3001/3002 is a required retraining academy for administrators who evaluate teachers (#3000), principals (#3001), or both teachers and principals (#3002).
