For the past several years, Kimball Public Schools has wanted to upgrade our principal/teacher evaluation instrument, but has been waiting for the Nebraska Department of Education to make a recommendation. Finally, during the 2016-17 school year, we had Lisa Myles from ESU 13 present to the entire staff on the four different domains of the Danielson Instructional Model. This year, we upgraded our principal evaluation instrument to the six standards of the Iowa School Leadership Standards and Criteria (ISLSC); and our teacher evaluation instrument to the seven effective practices of the Nebraska Framework. Our long-term goal is to incorporate the Danielson Model with the Nebraska Framework to systematically design and help improve our organizational and instructional effectiveness.
During the summer of 2017, we began the implementation process of using Canvas, our new Learning Management System (LMS). This will help all classroom teachers to better improve organizational and instructional effectiveness.
