In general, Principals and Vice Principals are evaluated once a year; however, a Principal or Vice

effective teachers and dismissal of ineffective teachers,
• Instructional Leadership,
• Professional Growth and Responsibility,
• Interpersonal Skills,
• Leadership Skills, and
• Stakeholder Perceptions.
Principals’ Mid-Year Reviews. As explained in more detail in other sections of this response to
the State’s request for information regarding the District’s capacity for school improvement, the
individual mid-year reviews conducted between District leaders and each school’s principal allow for
timely analysis and response to student-focused data—creating a performance-based culture in which
the performance and placement of principals are under constant review.
Among other items, District leaders require that principals present analysis and plans regarding
the following points:
1. Data related to achievement and Career and College Readiness (“CACR”)
• End of Instruction data
• Value Added (school level)
• SRI data (proficient / advanced analysis for OCCT – and for Common Core)

• ACE (number of students not meeting ACE in each area)
• 11 Steps to CACR data (relevant to grade level)
