FACILITATE LEADER EVALUATION

"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." - John F. Kennedy

Not only are district administrator evaluations required by statue, it is important feedback for the leader of the district to grow in their role.
Administrator feedback should represent the Board of Education's consensus, not individual members' views.
With Leader Excellence, LLC facilitating the process, the Board President is able to fully participate without the need to manage the meeting
Feedback should include observed behavior, decisions, and actions of the district leader.

Learn your district’s evaluation rubric and process for evaluating the district leader.
Prior to a close session, have board members use the district’s evaluation policy or process to write down thoughts about the administrator’s performance and support those opinions with recalled observations.
During a closed session, develop board consensus around all the items in the evaluation rubric, rankings, or scores and record them.
Finish by working with the board on goals for the administrator for the next year, again building consensus.

The Board President will be provided a draft of the consensus evaluation from the closed session meeting. He or she can then edit the evaluation document.
Following your local process for administrator evaluation, the document can be presented to the board or given directly to the administrator prior to a discussion with the administrator.
