As required by 19 TAC Chapter 241 and
State Board for Educator Certification rules, all
principals and assistant principals are required
to go through an assessment every five years. This
assessment is designed to evaluate the skill strengths
and improvement needs of Texas principals and assistant
principals through activities which are aligned to
SBEC's Standards for the Principal.
Education Service
Center Region 12 is offering a model of assessment: PALS (Principal's Assessment of Leadership Skills).
This one-and-one-half day assessment includes a self-assessment of leadership skills based on the Learner Centered Proficiencies for Principals. Day 1 includes four activities which simulate job-like actions, reflections on the four activities, and development of a professional growth plan. On day 2, each participant receives a comprehensive report detailing strengths and challenges to be addressed in a professional growth plan.
New principals or assistant principals must be assessed
upon receiving their first administrative assignments.
All other campus administrators must be assessed
every five years.
