RISE was designed and revised to provide a quality system, aligned with current legislative requirements that local corporations can adopt in its entirety, or use as a model as they develop evaluation systems to best suit their local contexts. A representative group of teachers and leaders from across the state, along with staff from the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE), contributed to the development of the RISE principal evaluation system. From the beginning, IDOE sought to design a model evaluation system focused on effective leadership practice and student outcomes. RISE was designed to be fair, accurate, transparent, and easy-to-use. This handbook describes the 3.0 version of Indiana's RISE Evaluation Model for principal evaluation. It describes: (1) the timeline for principal evaluation; (2) Component 1: Professional Practice; (2) Component 2: Student Learning; and (3) summative principal evaluation scoring. A list of frequently asked questions and a glossary of RISE terms are also included.
