Summative Assessment Scores consist of: ELA and Math goal ratings Organizational goal ratings Circle Survey results (or alternative tool used by district) Supervisors will rate an administrator’s performance on each goal using Form 4 (available in Canvas or on the MDE’s website), based on the previously determined goal quantifications set in Forms 2A-C.

II. Inputting Summative Assessment Scores Supervisors of record (e.g., superintendent, the superintendent’s designee, a head principal evaluating an assistant principal, etc.) should provide Form 4 data to the superintendent. To report data to MDE, superintendents should access the MPES file located in their MDE SharePoint folder: Fastest, easiest way to report MPES data Same Excel file used to report teacher evaluation data
