School Leader Evaluation Plan

The IPA, with our partners in the School Leader Collaborative, developed the School Leader Evaluation Plan (anchored to the School Leader Paradigm) to assist school districts with the development of their own school leader 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 from Aspiring to Launching to Building to Mastering. The guide is designed to help school districts understand the importance of evaluations done properly, the critical role a leader’s supervisor plays in the evaluation process, a roadmap for conducting the evaluation process well, and a plethora of tools and resources available to districts to create a reflective, growth-minded school leader evaluation plan. 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. Below, you can download a complete copy of the School Leader Evaluation Plan. Additionally, the various evaluation plan tools found in the appendices are available in separate fillable pdfs.
