11.1.e. Professional Growth and Retention of Quality Staff. The school leader identifies, supports, and participates in professional development.

11.1.i. Continuous Improvement. The school leader ensures continuous improvement through the implementation and monitoring of the strategic plan.

11.2. Student Growth. School leaders shall be evaluated based on demonstration of their students' success through multiple measures which determines 20 percent of the summative evaluation rating as determined by the results of the school leader's two goals.

11.3. Professional Conduct. The Professional Conduct standard allows educators to address areas of concern without necessitating an improvement plan. The Professional Conduct performance standard does not, however, supplant code and policy to which educators remain fully accountable and is not determinative of whether behavior is correctable. Certain violations may be corrected by implementation of an improvement plan; others will require immediate action. The standard addresses the following areas: Adhering to Policy and Procedure; Professional Attendance; Adhering to Schedule; and Respect. An Unsatisfactory rating in any of these areas prompts a standard performance rating of Unsatisfactory.
