Principals’ Council MeetingsMay 2013

Non-Teaching Professionals- Act 82 Given feedback from multiple stakeholders and after

much deliberation, PDE has made the determination to classify individuals working under instructional certifications who do not provide direct instruction to students as non-teaching professionals as defined in Act 82.

Given that they are working under an instructional certification they will be evaluated utilizing the Framework for Teaching. However, the observation component will constitute 80% and the multiple measures component will be 20% of professional’s evaluation. Additionally, they will not be evaluated under Act 82 till the fall of 2014.

Principal Effectiveness

The survey is being developed and as soon as that work is completed, Phase II participants will be sent an email asking for their feedback. The survey will consist of Likert formated questions and open-ended questions.

Survey Monkey will be used to collect the responses.

Survey to Participants in Phase II

Email addresses are being collected so that the surveys can be sent to obtain additional feedback on the Principal Effectiveness framework and process.

We added a field to the data collection instrument website to collect the administrator’s email address. As a reminder, the principal data collection instrument can be found at:

http://webapps.pattan.net/tes/PEval/principalevalcontact.asp

PaTTAN will send out survey links on a rolling basis as evaluations are completed (in batches every 2 weeks after May 1).

Survey to Participants in Phase II (continued)

Each resource will be included as part of the IU refresher training.

Updates to process/requirements for Phase III.

Systems graphic representing the process.

Evidence Documents Revised to represent evidence, rather than process.

Includes examples of evidence, NOT requirements.

The actual evidence that is provided is determined locally. Evidence is not to be sent to PDE.

Provide additional examples for specific roles (e.g. CTC Directors).

Preview of New Resources for Phase III

Connectedness (Conversation) documents The documents will be provided to spur some thoughts as

to the individual conversations that occur between a principal/teacher and supervising administrator/principal.

The actual conversations that occur should be determined locally.

It is not mandatory to use these questions, nor should they be viewed as a “checklist” to be followed.

They are provided solely as a resource.


Framework Updates◦ Inclusion of an additional component 2g: Ensures
