uses a rubric and
data about student
learning
Every educator
earns one of four
ratings of
performance
Every educator has
a mid-cycle review
at least 1 professional
practice goal and 1 student
learning goal – team goals
must be considered
Continuous
Learning
Every educator and

Collaboration and Continuous Learning are the focus
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Note: Two Ways the 5-Step Cycle is
different for Principals in the Model

Educator Plan, regardless of experience

̶ Based on the Standards and Indicators of Effective
Administrative Leadership

Observation and Feedback
Superintendent Rubric (I-D-2):
I-D. Evaluation Indicator: Provides effective and timely
supervision and evaluation of all staff in alignment
with state regulations and contract provisions
2) Typically makes at least three unannounced visits to
each school to observe principal practice every year
and provides targeted, constructive feedback to all
administrators. Acknowledges effective practice and
provides redirection and support for those whose
20
practice is less than proficient.
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Protocol for Superintendent’s
School Visits
Ongoing and, at times, unannounced– a
minimum of 3 (recommended) visits per year
(Fall, Winter, Spring)
Foci of visits
o Discuss progress and challenges
o Examine artifacts
o Observe teaching practice and share analyses
21
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Strategy: Align process to
goals
What is the opportunity with Superintendent’s
visits?
o Discuss progress and challenges
̶ Related to goals
o Examine relevant artifacts (quality not quantity)
̶ Aligned to priority areas
̶ Ex: Interim assessment results, meeting plans, etc.
o Observe classrooms and other practices; share
analyses
̶ Meetings: leadership team, faculty, parent, department

formative assessment

her improve professional practice
23
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Step 5: Summative Evaluation
Principal submits collected data to
Superintendent
Superintendent determines an overall
summative rating of performance based on:
o The principal’s performance against the four
performance Standards (educators receive a rating
for each Standard), and
o Evidence of the attainment of goals
24
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Step 5: Summative Evaluation,
cont.
Superintendent provides feedback to the
educator to help him or her improve
professional practice
Principal uses summative evaluation to inform
self-assessment
o Continuous Improvement process
25
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Proficient vs. Exemplary
“Proficient is the expected, rigorous level of
performance for educators. It is the
demanding but attainable level of performance
for most educators.”
“Exemplary performance significantly exceeds
Proficient and could serve as a model for
leaders district-wide or even statewide. Few
educators—principals included—are expected
to demonstrate Exemplary performance on
more than a small number of Indicators or
Standards.”
