LEAD Evaluation Structure
LEAD Evaluation Rating Redress Process
LEAD evaluation is made up of 50% professional practice and 50% student growth.
Professional practice is measured by the six competencies in the LEAD Framework.
LEAD Framework Competencies:- Instructional Expertise
- Vision & Strategy
- People & Culture
- Community & Equity
- Personal & Values
- Operational & Organizational
Student growth is measured by School Performance Framework (SPF) growth and individual goals for student growth.
- For SY 2022-2023, ALL required components of educator evaluation are required by the Colorado Department of Education. Educator evaluations are 50% Professional Practice & 50% Student Growth. For SY 2022-23, student growth within educator evaluations will be comprised of the following:
- 30% Individual LEAD Goals
- 20% Collective Measure= school-wide SLO Percent of Points Earned for SY 22-23
- This calculation is generated in the LAT and can be viewed on the school-level SLO tab in the LAT. We will use the percent as of May 1st* and provide the corresponding rating.
All principals, assistant principals, and leaders of others create and submit 2–3 leader-selected student growth goals. Student growth goals are intended to highlight school leaders’ primary areas of focus and are intended to align with the school’s Unified Improvement Plan (UIP) and Strategic School Plan.
