Evaluating a Principal or Executive Director

This training presentation by Sherard Parker, Executive Director of the Florida Consortium of Public Charter Schools (FCPCS), details the FCPCS Evaluation System for Principals and Assistant Principals. Designed to help charter school governing authorities assess leadership performance and foster continuous professional growth to drive student achievement, the system aligns with Section 1012.34, F.S., and the eight Florida Educational Leadership Standards under Rule 6A-5.080, F.A.C.. The overview highlights evaluation procedures and rubric-driven scoring across four performance tiers, combining a Leadership Practice Score (66%) with student learning and school growth data (at least 33%). Furthermore, it emphasizes best practices for collecting evidence, delivering actionable feedback, and utilizing web-based platforms such as observe4success to conduct efficient, paperless evaluations.
