5.10 Assesses, plans for, responds to, and interacts with the larger political, social, economic, legal, and cultural context that affects schooling based on relevant evidence. Evaluators and principals should consult the sample performance indicators for clarification of what constitutes a specific performance standard. Performance ratings are made at the performance standard level, NOT at the performance indicator level. Additionally, it is important to document a principal’s performance on each standard with evidence generated from multiple performance indicators, but not necessarily all performance indicators. Performance Rubrics The performance rubric is a behavioral summary scale that describes acceptable performance levels for each of the seven performance standards. It states the measure of performance expected of principals and provides a general description of what a rating entails. The rating scale is applied for the summative evaluation of all principals. The performance rubrics guide evaluators in assessing how well a standard is performed. They are provided to increase reliability among evaluators and to help principals focus on ways to enhance their leadership practices.
