Evaluator Training
The Illinois State Board of Education has adopted the School Leader Evaluation Plan as the new framework for principal and assistant principal evaluation training (beginning July 1, 2024).
IPA provides the ISBE-required Administrator Academies to enable individuals to earn their initial teacher and/or principal evaluator designation. Earned evaluator designations appear on an Illinois educator's Professional Educator License (PEL).
Successful completion of this training allows individuals to EVALUATE PRINCIPALS AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS.
Initial Principal Evaluation Designation
Requirements
- Evaluator Initial Training and Retraining for Principals and Assistant Principals (AA #4050) - two-day face-to-face training
- Complete the Application/Dissemination Plan at the end of the second day
Timeline
- Valid through the end of the subsequent licensure cycle in which the designation was earned

School Leader Evaluation Plan: AA #3967 Companion Course
In addition to the required AA #4050 for initial principal designation training and retraining, IPA offers AA #3967, a one-day administrator academy for individuals seeking an overview of the evaluation plan. This course is particularly helpful for individuals who will be evaluated under the plan. This course, School Leader Evaluation: A Growth-Focused Approach, is particularly helpful for individuals who will be evaluated under the plan. While this course does not meet evaluator designation training or retraining requirements, it does offer AA or PD credit to participants.
