AA #3000 Illinois Performance Evaluation Retraining: Student Growth

This is the one required student growth retraining course for teacher and administrator evaluators who
are renewing their designations required to evaluate educators. Participants will learn how to: 1. Use
assessments and measurement models identified by the joint committee in determining the student
growth attributable to individual teachers/principals and understand how different types of assessments
are used for measuring growth; 2. Use data from the evaluation rubric, other evidence collected, and
best practices relative to evaluating student growth to link teacher/principal and school-level professional
development plans to evaluation results; 3. Create, in collaboration with teachers/principals, supportive,
targeted professional development plans that consider past results, contribute to professional growth,
and assist teachers/principals in aligning professional development and goal-setting to school
improvement goals; and 4. Communicate evaluation outcomes and findings in constructive and
supportive ways that enable teachers/principals to set goals and improve practice. NOTE: Participants
will have to complete their A/D Component and send their completed E-Template, if used, to the
presenter during the Academy for review and comment.
