5
Why the Focus on Principal Effectiveness?
Although many factors contribute to student learning, leadership is the second most powerful school-level factor in student learning. (Hallinger & Heck, 1996; Horng, Klasick, & Loeb, 2010)
6
Why the Focus on Principal Effectiveness?
Strong school leadership is essential for Cultivating high-performing schools Attracting and retaining high-quality teaching staff Building community support for education efforts (Clifford, Behrstock-Sherratt, & Fetters, 2012)
7
Why the Emphasis on Evaluating Principal Practice?
Evaluation practices vary greatly across schools and districts Professional standards (such ISSLC and/or state standards) often not aligned with evaluation practices Little empirical evidence that current evaluation models and instruments are effective or technically sound (WestEd, 2011)
8
Why the Emphasis on Evaluating Principal Practice?
The professional literature highlights the importance of principal evaluation in changing practice from the historical emphasis on managerial responsibilities to more recent expectations that principals are instructional leaders, who are responsible and accountable for student learning. (WestEd, 2011)

Principal Practice Part I: Familiarity with Wisconsin’s Principal Effectiveness Framework & Rubric

Provide a common language and understanding about effective principal practice Support professional growth through self-assessment, reflection and collaboration Link various sources of evidence to principal practice that result in improved student achievement
13
Take a Closer Look What structure do you see?

Structure of Wisconsin’s Principal Effectiveness Framework
2 Domains 5 Components 23 Elements 4-Point Rubric for Each Element
15
Domain 1: Teacher Effectiveness
Component 1.2 Instructional Leadership Living a Vision and Mission for ALL Students High Expectations for Academic Achievement Classroom Observations and Feedback Instructional Time Teacher Collaborations Data Usage in Teams Rigorous Student Learning Objectives

4-Point Rubric for Each Element
Ineffective Minimally Effective Effective Highly Effective
18
Effective Principal Practice at the Component Level
Relationships to the ISSLC Standards Overall themes you notice

Reflection and Consolidation: Session I
What priorities do you see needed as your district prepares for full implementation of principal practice supervision in coming months and years?

Principal Practice Part II: Identifying Sources of Evidence
24
Evidence vs. Opinion Evidence Opinion Observable Draws Conclusions
Objective Subjective Free of Value Judgment Often Includes Value Judgment Unambiguous Makes Inferences / Debatable
26

Potential Sources of Evidence 1.2 Instructional Leadership
Memos, Newsletter, Website Samples of SLOs Team Meeting Agendas
