SUMMARY:AA #4050 Evaluator Initial Training and Retraining for Principals and Assistant Principals
DESCRIPTION:To be eligible to attend\, each participant (initial or retraining) must complete ISBE-required pre-work at least 72 hours before the training. Registrants will receive handouts and detailed instructions for the pre-work at least one week prior to the workshop.  Participants who do not receive the instructions and pre-work details or have registration questions should email Jennifer at jochsner@lake.k12.il.us. \nParticipants will synthesize the School Leader Paradigm to understand the personal intelligences\, knowledge\, and skills necessary for school leaders to effectively lead a learning organization; evaluate the research base to communicate the impact that effective school leaders have on a learning organization; analyze the School Leader Evaluation Plan to discern how the process grows school leaders’ personal intelligences and leadership skills that actualize school improvement and student growth goals; and critique Professional Practice and Student Growth Cycles of Inquiry to assess the approaches of each to a school’s Problems of Practice. \nThe Illinois Performance Evaluation Advisory Council (PEAC) selected the School Leader Evaluation Plan as the state’s new default principal and assistant principal evaluation plan beginning July 1\, 2024. Developed by the Illinois Principals Association in collaboration with 13 other state principals’ associations from across the United States\, the School Leader Evaluation Plan (based on the School Leader Paradigm) was developed to assist school districts with the implementation of a school leader evaluation system that is relevant and useful. While Illinois school districts have the opportunity to choose whether to adopt the School Leader Evaluation Plan to evaluate their principals and assistant principals\, the state-required principal and assistant principal evaluator training has been rewritten and will focus on the School Leader Evaluation Plan. \nStarting on July 1\, 2024\, this two-day\, in-person academy (AA#4050) will serve as the official training for educators seeking initial training qualification or retraining to be legally qualified to conduct evaluations of principals and assistant principals. The previous principal evaluator training (#2000\, #1865\, and #3000) will be discontinued as of June 30\, 2024.

SUMMARY:AA #1414 - Communicating with Staff Regarding Performance Assessments (and the words to Lower an Evaluation!)
DESCRIPTION:This course takes proven ideas from research and weaves them into practical applications that guide administrators when communicating difficult messages to staff regarding their performance. Participants will learn how to proactively develop an essential foundation of trust\, respect\, and confidentiality in their buildings. Strategic research and tools will be presented to help administrators predict and deal with others’ difficult behavior\, especially when they are under stress. Multiple opportunities will be provided to practice using listening and questioning strategies when confronting others or when resolving conflicts. In addition\, administrators will analyze a difficult situation that they wish to change and develop a confrontation and action plan to help resolve the problem behavior. Strategies will also be provided for dealing with staff that refuses to improve their poor performance. With these tools\, participants will be able to have productive conversations regarding staff performance and deliver difficult messages with confidence and respect. \n \nPresented by Susan Baker
