Administrator Training And Evaluation Program

The district may, when it deems it appropriate, participate in programs designed to provide support and development activities to improve administrators' skills. Such programs will emphasize:

1. The strengthening of development activities.

2. Collaborative planning of activities among principals and district office administrators.

3. A process for continuation of such planning.

4. A direct relationship between activities and the specific school improvement goals developed under the process, which involves principals, administrators, students, and parents/guardians.

The primary purpose of the program cannot be to grant a degree or credential to a staff member.

The district plan for administrator training and evaluation shall address objectives identified under Education Code 44670.4, 52014, and 52015 and any other objectives established by the district, so as to provide site and district office administrators the capacity to provide leadership necessary for:

1. Improving instructional, management, human development, and counseling skills.

2. Ensuring that curricula, instruction, and materials are keyed to the educational needs of each student with particular emphasis on limited non-English speaking students, disadvantaged students, students with exceptional abilities or needs and students who have not achieved proficiency in basic reading, writing, and computational skills.

3. Developing curricula and instructional materials in a wide variety of areas such as arts and humanities and physical, natural, and social sciences.

4. Facilitating collaboration among the school staff and members of the school community in planning, implementing, and evaluating the school program.

5. Improving the school classroom environment, including relationships between and among students, school personnel, parents/guardians, and community members, including parents/guardians.
