SuperEval SuperEval is the premier, one–of–a–kind, online evaluation system for school superintendents based on a rubric developed by the New York State Council of School Superintendents (NYSCOSS). The SuperEval platform subscription provides access to the SuperEval tool for the superintendent and all of the districts’ Board of Education members. Access to all of the evaluation tools for school principals, assistant principals and central office administrators is available for an additional annual subscription fee. A variety of training options are offered. On October 7, 2021, PNW BOCES is offering the following virtual sessions: SuperEval User Group 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. This 90–minute interactive workshop is intended for current users of the SuperEval platform. The workshop will explore best practices and strategies for efficiently using this evaluation tool. While many suggestions will be made by the presenters, facilitated conversations will allow participants to share their own practices and experiences with the group leading to an authentic and collaborative learning workshop. SuperEval Awareness Session 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. This interactive session will provide an in–depth overview to SuperEval: an online evaluation platform for leadership evaluations. Originally designed for superintendent evaluations, the platform and process was quickly found to have tremendous value to allow all education leaders the ability to be reflective and build a portfolio of leadership practices to assert one’s performance in an evaluation rather than defend it. Facilitators: Michael Horning, Jr., Executive Vice President of PLS 3RDL and Dr. Edward Fuhrman, Jr.
