Standard IV: Principals Demonstrate Human Resource Leadership 4.1 Professional Development/Learning Communities: Principals ensure that the school is a professional learning community that provides opportunities for collaboration, fosters teacher learning, and develops teacher leaders in a manner that is consistent with local structures, contracts, policies, and strategic plans. Principals communicate regularly about the changing context for teaching and learning, and create a collaborative culture and overall structure for on- going learning that fosters teacher learning and develops teacher leaders.

Human Resource Leadership 4.3 Teacher and Staff Evaluation: Principals evaluate staff performance using the district’s educator evaluation system in order to ensure that teachers and other staff are evaluated in a fair and equitable manner with a focus on improving performance and, thus, student achievement. They implement a systemic process for evaluation of all staff members that leads to the continuous improvement of performance. For teachers, this includes the provision of frequent and timely feedback and supports. Principals recognize and celebrate quality teachers, and provide professional development coaching for teachers needing support in order to improve instruction and student learning outcomes.
