TEACHERS:

• McREL Teacher Evaluation Model – Evaluation systems for teachers that foster high quality instruction and low variability within that quality should:

  • Be supported by related professional growth and development resources.

  • Be ongoing and systematic, resulting in continuous growth and improvement.

  • Have analytic rubrics with aligned performance indicators and a rating scale at their core.

  • Incorporate multiple data sources, including artifacts and both qualitative and quantitative evidence to assess teacher performance.

  • Provide the basis for performance goals and professional development activities.

PRINCIPALS:

• McREL Principal Evaluation System – Effective leadership means more than simply knowing what to do - it’s knowing when, how, and why to do it. Effective leaders understand how to balance pushing for change while at the same time, protecting aspects of culture, values, and norms worth preserving. They know which policies, practices, resources, and incentives to align and how to align them with organizational priorities. They know how to gauge the magnitude of change they are calling for and how to tailor their leadership strategies accordingly. Finally, they understand and value the people in the organization. They know when, how, and why to create learning environments that support people, connect them with one another, and provide the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to succeed. This combination of knowledge and skills is the essence of balanced leadership.”
