Orig. Code(s): CCG

The superintendent will implement and supervise an evaluation system for ESD administrators. The purpose of administrator evaluations is to assist an administrator with developing and strengthening their professional abilities, to improve the instructional program and management of the ESD, and for supervisors to make recommendations regarding their employment and/or salary status.

A formal evaluation shall be conducted regularly for each administrator.

The evaluation shall be conducted according to the following guidelines:
     1. Evaluative criteria for each position will be in written form and made available to the administrator;
     2. Evaluations will be made by the superintendent and/or a qualified, licensed designee;
     3. Evaluations will be in writing and discussed with the administrator by the person who conducts the evaluation; and
     4. The administrator being evaluated will have the right to attach a memorandum to the written evaluation and have the right of appeal through established grievance            procedures, if applicable. 

Administrator evaluations shall be based on the core administrator standards adopted by the Oregon State Board of Education¹. The standards shall be customized based on collaborative efforts with ESD administrators.

Local evaluation and support systems established by the ESD for administrators must be designed to meet or exceed the requirements defined in the Oregon Framework for Teacher and Administrator Evaluation and Support Systems, including:

     1. Four performance level ratings of effectiveness;
     2. Consideration of multiple measures of administrator practice and responsibility which may include, but are not limited to:

          a. Classroom-based assessments including observations, lesson plans and assignments;
          b. Portfolios of evidence;
          c. Supervisor reports; and
          d. Self-reflections and assessments.

     3. Consideration of evidence of student academic growth and learning based on multiple measures of student progress including performance data of students,                   schools and districts that is both formative and summative. Evidence may also include other indicators of student success;
     4. A summative evaluation method for considering multiple measures of professional practice, professional responsibilities, and student learning and growth to                     determine the administrator’s professional growth path;
     5. Customized by the ESD, which may include individualized weighting and application of the standards.

The superintendent shall develop administrative regulations to implement this policy.
