Ask IASB: Superintendent Evaluation FAQs



Ask IASB: Superintendent Evaluation FAQs

This spring is the time to conduct the end-of-year summary superintendent evaluation. IASB staff receive many questions regarding effective practices for superintendent evaluation. Below are a few FAQs, as well as a link to the full list. 

Q: How often should our board evaluate our superintendent? 
A: The law requires that your board evaluate your superintendent annually. However, we recommend a year-long process that includes time for your superintendent to update you on progress toward reaching goals and feedback on these goals.
 
Q: What criteria should our board use to evaluate our superintendent? 
A: According to the Iowa Code, an administrator evaluation should be based on:

  1. Competence in meeting the Iowa Standards for School Leaders and
  2. Performance progress on the superintendent's goals

Q: I’m a new board member, so this is my first time going through the evaluation process—where do I start? 
A: Great question! First, check your board policy to learn about the tools that your board has in place. Next, review a blank copy of the evaluation instrument so you are well equipped when the time comes. Talk with your board president or superintendent to learn more about the information. Finally, if you need help, contact IASB for sample evaluation resources—we recommend the whole board team participate in the evaluation, so get prepared today!
