Testimonials from Virginia administrators who recently received AdvancED Lead Evaluator Certification
"AdvancED Lead Evaluator Training gave incredible insight on how to build a continuous improvement plan. The training provided the trainees with practical knowledge, as well as an understanding of what to look for in a successful program and what to look for to improve programs.  I found the teacher observation in the Effective Learning Environments Observation Tool ® to be the most comprehensive method to measure teacher performance I have ever worked with."
