School administrators are responsible for evaluating the performances of various employee groups. Being able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of employees and provide them with quality feedback is essential to the success of the entire school. As the school leader, you will need to evaluate the instructional leadership capacity of your entire staff.
Read the following case studies and choose either the Elementary or Secondary to inform the assignment.
Elementary
You are a school principal in an elementary school. In preparation for meeting with your third grade team lead, Ms. Juarez, you have been analyzing the students’ reading performance data. You have identified that the students in four of the five teachers’ classes exhibit good to exceptional outcomes on their DIBELS benchmark data. Additionally, three of the teachers have historically yielded student scores with above average state standardized test results in comparison to schools in your district with similar demographics. In previous discussions with Ms. Juarez, she has cited the teachers’ efforts to plan together utilizing the pacing guide, core program, and assessment results as the primary reasons for their students’ positive outcomes.
One teacher, Ms. Monroe, has been identified as an outlier by the district’s assessment coordinator, relative to the results of her students, compared to the other four teachers. Additionally, you have observed evidence that suggests Ms. Monroe is behind on the pacing guide, compared to her colleagues. You also have received anecdotal information that she does not engage with her teammates during scheduled grade level meetings, which leads you to believe that she is not making an effort to plan with them outside the scheduled meetings.

Four of the teachers have historically yielded student scores with above average state standardized test results in comparison to schools in your district with similar demographics. In previous discussions, Mr. Wong has cited the teachers’ efforts to plan together utilizing the pacing guide, core program, and assessment results as the primary reasons for their students’ positive outcomes.
One teacher, however, Mr. Blumenstock, has been identified as an outlier by the district’s assessment coordinator, relative to the results of his students, compared to the other two teachers.

You also have anecdotal information that he does not engage with his teammates during scheduled content team meetings, which leads you to believe that he is not making an effort to plan with them outside the scheduled meetings.
