All new teacher evaluators in Illinois will need to pass an ISBE-approved administrator academy on the topic of Initial Teacher Evaluation Training (this training replaces the existing initial teacher evaluation training provided through Growth through Learning CEC and TeachScape that expired on December 31, 2018).

This 2-day course AND pre-work will provide participants with the knowledge to:

• Identify and disseminate minimum state requirements, performance standards and best practices;

• Facilitate a common language and dialogue around performance and its impact on school improvement, professional practice, and student outcomes;

• Encourage collaboration, learning, and alignment among stakeholders.

Staff members who choose this option may submit the IFT session registration through the PERC process in their building. The API in each building can help answer any questions regarding PERC funds.

Time Commitment:

Participants who sign up for this session must be able to attend the pre-session and two full days of training.

Capacity:

Enrollment is dependent on availability and will be determined by the IFT.
