School Leader Evaluation Plan
The School Leader Collaborative has developed the School Leader Evaluation Plan to assist school districts with the development of their own evaluation systems that are relevant and useful. Unlike other evaluation tools that are comprised of checklists or only focus on activities that school leaders do, the School Leader Evaluation Plan seeks to assist school districts with the development of an evaluation system that helps school leaders grow their leadership dispositions and the skills necessary for them to do their work effectively throughout their career continuum.
The School Leader Evaluation Plan meets the Illinois principal evaluation statutory requirements and includes extensive resources for both the leader and the growth-oriented evaluator.

The Illinois State Board of Education has adopted the School Leader Evaluation Plan as the new framework for principal and assistant principal evaluation training (beginning July 1, 2024).
Training on the School Leader Evaluation Plan is available for both evaluators as well as individuals who will be evaluated under the plan.
Initial and Renewal Training for Principal Evaluators. For those seeking the initial or a renewed evaluator designation, IPA offers AA #4050, a two-day training that meets the state requirements. To learn more about the requirements and IPA's training, visit the Principal Evaluator Initial Training and the Principal Evaluator Retraining pages.
School Leader Evaluation Plan Introduction. IPA also offers AA #3967, a one-day administrator academy for individuals seeking an overview of the evaluation plan. This course, School Leader Evaluation: A Growth-Focused Approach, is particularly helpful for individuals who will be evaluated under the plan. While this course does not meet evaluator designation training or retraining requirements, it does offer AA or PD credit to participants.
