• determine levels of proficiency in Domains 2 and 3 which correspond to the master trainers’ score, indicating a level of inter-rater reliability. https://reg.abcsignup.com/reg/event_page.aspx?ek=0044-0016-a1793b77462a4d6db6e19c714cc6537e

Student Violence Threat/Risk Assessment Training prepares school-based multidisciplinary threat/risk assessment teams with the tools and training needed to effectively assess and address violence and threats of violence in school and community systems. Data-driven assessments are needed to properly assess the seriousness of threats of violence – from single victim attacks of students, threats to teachers, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Facebook threats, cyber bullying and youth gang violence - to high profile school shootings. This collection of data helps multidisciplinary teams (school administrators, police, therapists and others) to apply the most current assessment and intervention models in student violence threat/risk assessment. Attendees will be able to receive Administrator Academy credit for the first day of the training. ://reg.abcsignup.com/reg/event_page.aspx?ek=0044-0016-e3d6a30412984994ada4ad51e3acca98

The administrative academy seeks to improve interrater reliability in the assignment of performance evaluation ratings for principals. Using case studies, participants will collect evidence and use the Illinois Standards for Principal Evaluation to evaluate and rate principal performance. Participants will use data collected from the case studies and compare the data to best practices for evaluating principals and assistant principals. This data will also be analyzed to prepare administrative and school-level professional development plans. In a collaborative and supportive way, participants will prepare a targeted professional development plan that considers past results and contributes to professional and personal growth. This plan will be aligned to the school improvement plan. The instructional environment indicators will be analyzed. The purpose of the professional development plan is to communicate the outcomes and findings in such a manner that the principals and assistant principals set goals for improvement. Participants will analyze their personal biases while making these decisions. https://reg.abcsignup.com/reg/event_page.aspx?ek=0044-0016-c4cc729c946540ab946da691e6b0ce44
