What is LEAD?
Lewisville ISD appraisal and evaluation system is called LEAD. It is a rubric-based system in which teachers are asked to reflect, write goals, and rate themselves in conjunction with their appraiser.
The evaluation process will include a BOY goal-setting conference, multiple walkthroughs, 2 - 3 formal observations for Domain 1 and 2, 1 mid-year conference, and 1 end-of-year conference.
Your LEAD evaluation is a sum of:
- observations and conversations with your appraiser,
- showing evidence that you met your goal in Domain 1 and 2 (link your evidence in STRIVE),
- completing ALL professional responsibilities in Domain 3,
- and progress on Domain 4 student performance goal are also part of LEAD (link your evidence in STRIVE).

You are asked to use the rubric to rate yourself during the year and add comments and evidence of goal completion at conferences.
Teachers were asked to write 2 goals:
1 from from the Domain of your choice, in alignment with the Campus Improvement Plan
1 from Domain 4 (student progress goal), in alignment with the Campus Improvement Plan
A strong goal will include A + B + C = D
A - your selected Domain from the LEAD instrument (after self-analysis of ALL areas)
B - a strategy (teacher action/strategy) to grow
C - student learning and skills,
D - evidence of student success that may be displayed in Strive for summative conferences.
Example: The use of B [insert Teacher action/strategy] will increase A [Higher Order Thinking Skills (identified as a growth areas in Domain 1)] and allow student to C [analyze and evaluate collected data (what is an essential skill needed?)] as demonstrated by D [Insert student action that produces evidence]."
