• To evaluate school administrators statewide using a consistent, standards-based tool that gathers perception data from multiple sources directly impacted by school administrators’ abilities and behaviors– Allows school administrators to identify both “hidden

strengths” and “blind spots” in leadership abilities and behaviors

Orr, J. E., Swisher, V. V., Tang, K. Y., & De Meuse, K. P. (2010, October). Illuminating blind spots and hidden strengths. Minneapolis, MN: Korn/Ferry International.

Purpose of the Circle Survey

Circle Survey Interim Reports

©MDE - Office of Educator Quality

• Interim Reports from the RCU– Resulted in a “checks and balances” system

that revealed admins who were not in ELMS and those who had not entered their data

– Excellent compliance check mid-year

• District superintendents may access Circle Survey final reports via the district SharePoint folder.

• The pathway is sdxxxx/Evaluation/Principal Evaluation, where “sdxxxx” is the district number.

The Circle Survey Final Report

Key features of final reports:• 30 equally weighted indicators• Color-coded indicators arranged from highest to lowest based on

overall rating (if overall rating is the same for multiple indicators, then indicators are arranged numerically)

• Staff rating column shows number of certified staff responses received (duplicates removed, invalid access codes removed)

• Comments are listed in the order the survey response was received

Extenuating Circumstances

12

• When data required for the Summative Assessment Conference are available, hold the Summative Assessment Conference and the Professional Growth Goals Conference– Should be able to hold these conferences for

alternative school principals, principals of schools with no tested grades, and CTE directors by the end of the school year

– Will have to wait on accountability data for school administrators in schools with tested grades

– Need to ensure that all school administrators have data to support ratings for Organizational Goals

Next Steps

13

• Administrators who leave a school at the end of a school year should receive an MPES Summative Assessment Score when data are made available to districts– Can hold the Summative Assessment Conference by

phone, if necessary– Should mail the Summative Assessment Conference

Form to the school administrator for his/her records and document that the meeting was held over the phone

– Key: Gathering and storing data for organizational goals before the administrator leaves

Remember…
