State Board of Education  \nMay 2016  \nGuidance Document  \n\\#16-2  \nGuidance on Assistant Principal Performance Evaluation in Illinois  \nThis document is intended to provide non-regulatory guidance on the subject matter listed above For specific questions, please contact the person(s) identified in the document  \nGuidance on Assistant Principal Performance Evaluation in Illinois  \nAssistant principals are important to the continued improvement of Illinois public schools, and, like all educational professionals, assistant principals need support to advance their practice and careers. The Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA; P.A. 96-861) requires the Illinois State Board of Education to develop and implement principal and assistant principal performance evaluations to document performance quality and effectiveness that informs professional growth planning. PERA specifies that principals and assistant principals will be evaluated annually and that the performance evaluation will include assistant principal and principal practice measures as well as school-level student growth.  \nThe Illinois State Model for Principal Evaluation, which is applicable to assistant principals, satisfies the Illinois State Board of Education’s statutory requirements for performance evaluation and describes standards and measures that districts can use to evaluate these school-level administrators (Illinois State Board of Education, n.d.) . The State Model for Principal Evaluation communicates the standards and processes for evaluating principals and assistant principals, and the state model has been aligned with the Inter-state School Leadership Licensure Consortium standards (The Council for Chief State School Officers, 2008) . School districts are not required to use the State Model for Principal Evaluation, but school districts are required to comply with all requirements of the School Code and relevant Administrative Rules (see Box 1) . Important to note, the State Model for Principal Evaluation provides school districts with an approach to principal and assistant principal evaluation that supports professional development planning with accountability to grow leadership talent. To make better use of this guidance document, we recommend reading the State Model for Principal Evaluation guidance prior to using this guidance.  \nThis document was developed in response to district requests for further guidance on assistant principal evaluation. In many cases, assistant principal job responsibilities differ from those responsibilities of principals and vary within and between schools within a district. Given this variability, districts may seek to differentiate assistant principal evaluation in ways that ensure assistant principals receive performance ratings and feedback that more closely reflect their actual roles and responsibilities. This guidance was written specifically for educators fulfilling job responsibilities under the title assistant principal or vice principal, per PERA job title definitions. It specifically addresses potential adaptations to the Illinois State Model for Principal Evaluation that districts may choose to employ for evaluating assistant principals. Districts using models other than the state model also may find this guidance useful for designing or adapting approaches to the evaluation of assistant principals as well as other district and school administrators.  \nTo this end, the guidance document provides a brief overview of PERA, provides an overview of research on the nature and variation in assistant principal work practices, and offers an approach districts may consider when adapting the state model for use in evaluating assistant principals.  \nBackground: Requirements for Assistant Principal Performance Evaluation  \nAccording to Statute 105 ILCS5/24A-15 and Illinois Administrative Code Part 50, Section 50.300 (see Box 1), all school districts must annually evaluate assistant principal performance.
