Foreword

This Wisconsin Educator Effectiveness (EE) Principal User Guide reflects the combined efforts of Wisconsin (WI) educators, Cooperative Educational Support Agencies (CESAs), Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC), Association of Wisconsin School Administrators (AWSA), Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators (WASDA), Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB), the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Educator Development and Support Team, and the Wisconsin Center for Education Research (WCER). Principals, principal supervisors, and principal peers/coaches can draw upon the following four sections of the user guide to plan and conduct learning-centered evaluations:

? The first section briefly describes the five principles of Wisconsin's learning-centered EE approach.

? The second section provides an overview of the Wisconsin Framework for Principal Leadership (WFPL) and key evaluation process milestones.

? Section three illustrates how to leverage the evaluation process as a cycle of continuous improvement across the year.

? The last section summarizes how to use the end-of-cycle conversation to plan for the coming year and move learning forward.

The guide's four main sections provide a foundational understanding of Wisconsin's Educator Effectiveness (EE) System. Throughout the guide, readers can access additional, deeper learning opportunities in the appendices (referenced throughout) and short online modules, or "quick mods," identified by visual cues.

Districts should augment this guide with additional local, regional, or state professional development and training opportunities in order to continuously improve the quality and efficacy of EE processes.
