Principal Effectiveness

Robert Holbrook - Lead

PE – Agenda (11:00am – noon)(Robert Holbrook)

Review of the expectations for Phase II participants.

RTTT questions/expectations for Phase II participants

Question regarding the development of a observation collection tool

Report on the CTC work group

Review of Expectations for Phase II

Point #4 of the 'Principal Effectiveness Process for Pilot' document was referenced during the webinar when we discussed component/domain expectations.

Point #4 reads: "Agree upon which components (3-5) representing multiple Domains are to be a focus for the pilot. Try to include at least one component within Domain #3: Leadership for Learning. Also be sure to balance strengths and weaknesses."

Review of Expectations for Phase II (continued)

We do not want to contradict the instructions that have been provided by the training facilitators. However, if any accommodations could be made to assist in gathering data on additional components/domains, it would be greatly appreciated.

The additional data would assist the researchers in the validity and reliability studies. If you believe that asking the participants to make these accommodations would only add confusion to the process, we will support your decision to keep things as they have been presented.

RTTT Participant Expectations for Phase II We have received several inquiries regarding the

evaluation percentages listed in the RTTT FAQs on their link and the expectations for Phase II.

The matrix on page 7 of the RTTT document states that 25% of the principals have to be trained in 2012-2013, and zero (%) have to be evaluated in 2012-2013.

However, there is no summative evaluation associated with Phase II.

RTTT participant expectations for Phase II (continued)

All Phase II participants are expected to complete the following expectations:◦ Participate in the Turn Around Training◦ Collaboratively select of 3-5 components (preferably◦ more) in multiple domains◦ The supervisors/principals are to use the framework this

year and follow the guidelines provided at the ‘Train the Trainer’ event in October.

◦ Completion of the Data Collection Tool

RTTT participant expectations for Phase II (continued) Phase II of the Principal Effectiveness project is a

pilot and the data collected will be used to aid our researchers in their work on the reliability and validity of the document.

RTTT principals should be evaluated in 2012-13 using their present evaluation tool. Data collected from the Principal Framework of Leadership may be used to inform your current evalution process.

Question: Observation Tool Are there plans for an observation tool for principals

to use throughout the school year (created by PDE) to collect evidence of components, or should they continue to use a locally developed tool?◦ PDE has not developed an observation tool to collect

evidence throughout the school year, nor are there any plans to develop such a tool.

◦ If a local LEA has an observation collection tool in place, we would recommend continue using that instrument. We would also ask that the local LEA share their observation collection tool with the Principal Effectiveness Team. (c-cwilson@pa.gov)

CTC Work Group On Thursday, Feb. 14th, members of the Principal

Effectiveness Team met with CTC Directors from across the Commonwealth.

These CTC Directors represented the diversity among the CTC organizations.

Act 82 states that the term “principal” shall include a building principal, an assistant principal, a vice principal or a director of vocational education.

CTC Work Group (continued)

Our goals were:

◦ Review the development of the Framework for Leadership

◦ Review the domains/components of the Framework for Leadership

◦ Emphasize the skills necessary to be an educational leader

◦ Begin the development of appropriate sources of evidence for each domain/component

CTC Work Group (continued)

We are planning to categorize the sources of evidence for CTC Directors and ask them to review the document for accuracy as well as provide further suggestions.
