2 Project 6 – Leadership: Instructional Leader Evaluation As of the 2023–2024 academic year, South Panola High School has had its present administration in place for four years. At the pandemic's peak, when instructors and students switched to online instruction, this leader rose swiftly up the leadership ladder, going from Assistant Principal to Principal. All these developments happened in less than a year. Recently, the Superintendent of Education visited to discuss the results of the staff morale survey. Staff morale at our school has always been the greatest, but during the beginning of the quarter, there seemed to be a noticeable drop. Educators felt freed from that conversation when they could finally share their ideas in-depth. This unit was intriguing because the timing couldn't have been more ideal. Teachers are frequently observed—weekly or perhaps every day. Educators rarely have the autonomy to assess leaders. The scoring system rates each group as follows: (1) Needs Enhancement; (2) Working Further; (3) Proficient; and (4) Advanced. I gave the principal a two for organizing meetings and providing input. Because the school employs curriculum coaches, our administration usually does not confer with teachers about the curriculum unless there is a widespread issue. The principal receives teacher critique from the content coaches regularly. The principal then uses the information to plan particular approaches. All communication should be straightforward to avoid misconceptions and guarantee that details are interpreted as indicated. As a result, I ask for periodic conferences with our principal. The input I get from leaders at all levels benefits my growth as an educator and a leader in the future. I could not provide an accurate rating for curriculum and instruction plans since the principal needed to read the instructions carefully. Our Assistant Principals, who are content coaches, oversee content; the principal is only involved when an educator needs to comply.
3 Suppose God allows me to become the principal of my present school or any other one. In that case, I plan to meet regularly with educators or curriculum coaches to ensure that lesson plans follow state regulations and that educators meet deadlines. Effective learning outcomes for students are guaranteed by preparation. I gave the principal a 2.5 for evaluating educators and providing feedback. When feedback is provided, it closely follows the state criteria, the rubric, and earlier comments. I would have given it a four because it is the model if the subject matter had only been feedback. I rated it a 2.5 since the principal evaluates every educator once or twice a month. Additional feedback would help with developing educators and student outcomes. As a mid-level leader, I am not responsible for observing educators; I would instead help my peers and learn practical skills. Watching other educators gives me ideas for new teaching methods. I could do better to make sure there has been progress by including a fair period for revisiting the input I provide. I gave Leading Professional Development a poor rating of 1.5. There currently needs to be more professionalism. This is primarily due to the principal's rapport with educators, similar to his experiences as an educator. When teachers join the administrative team, interaction needs to shift. Relationships involving leaders and teachers are significantly different from one another. Since the principal promised to better and acknowledged that only the bare minimum of professional standards were met, I rated her a 1.5. Naturally, I'm cautious about who and how I engage. I take precautions not to become involved in teacher conversations unrelated to our job as a mid-level leader (Grade Level Team Lead). The way educators and administrators interact needs to change.
