23 Illinois Administrative Code 50: Redefining The Formal School Site Observation In Principal Evaluation (A Policy Advocacy Document)

<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p> <p>This document explores how the establishment of a Principal Evaluation Steering Committee (PESC) to implement and monitor U.S. District X’s Illinois Principal Evaluation Plan (IPEP) may ensure the effectiveness of its principals as <em>capacity builders </em>who facilitate <em>meaningful</em> and <em>productive systems change</em>. The PESC intervention helps ensure principals and their staff is engaging in purposeful <em>reflective</em> <em>practice</em> and <em>collegial inquiry</em> activities and exercises designed to increase their cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, and intrapersonal capacities (Drago-Severson, Blum-DeStefano, & Asghar, 2013). This document outlines the positive and effective impacts in the contexts of educational, economic, social, political and, moral and ethical disciplinary areas; and advocates that the establishment of a PESC becomes policy in the district. By igniting, through policy, the potential principals can bring to the table individually and collectively through <em>reflective practice</em> and <em>collegial</em> <em>inquiry</em>—rather than using evaluation rating as a means of weeding out ineffective leadership provides a hopeful alternative to a more sanctions-oriented approach to leadership and school improvement (Drago-Severson et al., 2013; Superville, 2015). <strong></strong></p>
