001Hi, I'm Amy Cast. I'm one of the WASDA leadership development consultants. And I'm Dr. Heather Curl, the director of leadership development here at WASDA. We're here today to introduce WASDA's new goals centered superintendent evaluation model. This new model provides a framework that integrates progress towards strategic goals, student outcomes, and operational leadership work into a coherent system that's easy to implement and transparent for the district stakeholders. This model is grounded in academic research on superintendent evaluation and school governance. The WASA team created the goal center model because we've heard from boards and superintendent that they wanted an easy to implement superintendent evaluation model that purposely incorporates district strategic plans and student outcomes. And there are several benefits of this new model to board superintendent teams. First, it creates intentional alignment and coherence with the district's broader
002work as research has shown that having an integrated superintendent evaluation process leads more directly to student success. Also, this model highlights elements of the Washington Schoolboard standards as well as best practices from the National School Superintendent Associations. All these elements work together to support the superintendent's growth, foster trust between the board and superintendent, and keep the process focused on student success. So, here are three ways to get started. First, go to wazda.org/goalcentered and download the PDF in one convenient document. Second, attend our breakout session at the WASDA annual conference where you'll be dis where we'll be discussing Amy will be discussing best practices and superintendent evaluation and introducing you to using this model. Finally, you can even invite a WASDA consultant to come and provide a customized workshop for your board can help you um
003getting started in this process and even see you through the whole cycle. So, thanks for watching everyone. We hope to see you at our annual conference in November. Please reach out to WASDA at any point should you have any questions. We build all of our resources and programs on school director feedback and would love to hear how implementation of the model goes if you choose to use it.
