Three Main Challenges
12
The Lack Of A Compelling Vision Of
Evaluation
The Need For Stronger Leadership Skills
Not Enough Time
Lack of clarity and distrust about the
purposes of evaluation
Some principals do not know what effective instruction looks
like
Principals have large case loads and new evaluations
are time-intensive
How to measure student growth with
validity & reliability in all grades/subjects
Inadequate time paid to instructional leadership
Principal’s time as instructional leaders is
disrupted by management responsibilities and central
office duties.
Lack of alignment between state and district evaluation
frameworks
Implementing new evaluation and common core standards are over-whelming principals
Training for principals on new forms of evaluation is
time-consuming
CCSSO Survey Findings:Strengths of the New System

standard State-wide implementation Shift from compliance-driven to professional growth model Yearly evaluations for all educators

CCSSO Survey Findings:Challenges of the New System Weighting student growth How to measure & evaluate non-tested subject areas & teachers Cultural shift in the duties of the principals from managers to
instructional leaders Local control Need for consistency and greater direction Weak correlations between student growth and teacher
evaluation ratings Insufficient training Yearly evaluations for all educators leads to capacity issues Ensuring student growth models are accurate State-wide implementation Need for professional development and the lack of funding Timeline to implement effective evaluation system
14
CCSSO Survey Findings
What are your state and your districts doing to help principals deal effectively with the new evaluations?
Training/professional development (face-to-face, online)
Redesign of principal preparation programs
Use of technology to improve efficiency
15
CCSSO Survey Findings
Survey results have been positive from educators
Helpful to focus on improving teaching practices
Hesitation about percentage weighting
Need for more research Questions regarding
validity and reliability of student growth measures
Worried about high stakes nature of evaluation based on student growth
Concern that using student growth could undermine collaboration
Need for additional training Time and capacity issues
