policies, procedures, strategic plan, and school data. Within Alabama, Instructional Leaders are
held to eight standards which should result in improved academic achievement, improve the
quality of instruction and promote self-growth.
Researching the states of Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee in comparison to Alabamas
Lead Alabama evaluation standards, was interesting. Lead Alabama is considered a growth
evaluation, not evaluate. When discussing different components with my administrator, Lead
Alabama is an ongoing process unlike PEPE that was used in previous years. Lead Alabama is a
formative, online, evaluation system for educational leaders consisting of a self-assessment,
collaborative dialogue, professional learning plan (PLP), and evidence collection (Alex , 2014). I
found it interesting that professional development opportunities are not linked to LEAD Alabama
indicators at this time but are linked to the district strategic plan.
All of the states I researched recommended a school improvement plan. Florida mandates
that performance evaluation results be used to inform the development of district and school
improvement plans. Georgia and Tennessee recommends the state provide a suggested school
improvement template and process that supports professional learning and ongoing support
(Leaders, 2013). Alabama requires a 360 degree assessment to evaluate certificated, central
office administrators, principals, assistant principals, and all other specialty area administrators
(Leaders, 2013). Florida recommends that the principals evaluation includes input from the
parents and instructional personnel. Georgia and Tennessee do not require the 360 degree
assessment.
Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee require the supervisor or observer to use a rubric to
evaluate the administrator; Florida uses different rubrics based on each district. All of the states
have a different timeline on conferencing with administrator pertaining to observation results.

data, and implement professional development accordingly will develop an environment that is
highly conducive to learning and growing.
Performing effective personnel evaluations will require you have a clear set of goals and
have developed a climate that is regarded as a learning environment or of a team approach.
Regularly visiting the classroom will ease the sense of observation for the teacher and the
students. Personally, my administrators frequent my classroom so often I never consider the fact
that they possibly could be evaluating or observing me. As an administrator, if you are aware of
all the indicators of Lead Alabama, have ongoing collaboration with teachers, have a high level
of professionalism and hold true to the ethics in which you are required, evaluating personnel
should be enjoyable and beneficial to your schools mission and vision.
