Effective Leaders

Published: 4/12/2013 11:55 AM

Kentucky is creating a new Professional Growth and Effectiveness System (PGES). The goal of this system is to increase student learning by ensuring that each student is taught by an effective teacher and that each school is led by an effective leader.  This system uses multiple measures to evaluate each principal's effectiveness and serve as a roadmap for the principal's professional growth.

    INITIAL CERTIFICATION

    This training is designed to initially approve instructional leaders as evaluators of certified staff.  Upon completion of this two-day training, participants will receive twelve (12) hours of Effective Instructional Leadership Credit. 

  • Certified Evaluation Forms

    The forms on this page meet the requirements and regulations for the local board of education and KDE approved district certified evaluation plans through the 2013-2014 school year. All summative conferences and summative evaluations need to follow the processes and use the forms described in the district certified personnel evaluation plan.

    The personnel participating in the TPGES pilot will be using the forms and processes desribed in the state Professional Growth and Effectiveness System or found in the Educator Development Suite in CIITS. 

    KRS. 156.557 requires all school district administrators having the responsibility of evaluating certified personnel to be trained, tested, and approved in the proper techniques for effectively evaluating certified school employees.
