What specific evaluation tool does your state use?

Program for Assisting, Developing and Evaluating Principal Performance (PADEPP)

We have developed our own tool that is aligned to the PA leadership standards and are piloting it in several districts.

Home-grown and tied to the "Tennessee Instructional Leadership Standards"

A multiple measure evaluation based on the ISLLC standards and student achievement data

Composite from committee process

Home-grown but ISLLC based

The NC School Executive: Principal Evaluation Process (2008)

AR has created a rubric with the help of a Principal evaluation Task Force which uses Functions/Standards from ISLLC 2008, studied the Doug Reeves, Performance Indicators and [rest of response cut off]

We have a state wide tool that is based on ISLCC standards.

What specific evaluation tool does your state use? (cont.)

Several responses indicated tools are determined locally

No state-wide tool but our Evaluation Model Stakeholders Group has approved this as a choice for districts.

Locally determined

Varies by local district

What specific evaluation tool does your state use? (cont.)

Several responses said tools are in development Multiple measures are being

proposed but no tools have been selected yet

Entire process currently being developed will include state designed tools.

The current system is an old one not tied to instructional leadership in meaningful ways. We are currently preparing a new system that will measure the learning centered behaviors described by Ellen.

We are currently developing a new system that will cover the areas discussed in the presentation. We are also considering the Val-ED 360 instrument and will pilot the implementation this fall with approximately 25 districts.

In development at this time
