Session 23: Evaluating School Leaders with VAL-Ed Data

Printer-friendly version

How can good evaluations help school districts develop school leaders, and what do good evaluations look like? Attend this session to learn about VAL-Ed, a rigorous new tool for evaluating school-leader performance. The technique uses “360 degree” evidence and a comprehensive assessment of leader behavior. Hear about lessons learned in field-testing VAL-Ed, and results and challenges encountered by districts implementing the assessment.

Presenters:
Andy Porter, dean and George and Diane Weiss Professor of Education, University of Pennsylvania;
Diane Rutledge, executive director, the Large Unit District Association, Springfield, Ill.
