Evaluator Approval Update

There have been many questions surfacing regarding what is needed to renew an administrator or evaluator license. Please read below for the latest information from the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners in the letter dated December 18, 2012. It states: 

“In light of the current conversations around changing the evaluation process, the BoEE and the DE have determined that practitioners must complete one (1) of the current evaluator renewal courses. The DE-approved courses include: Assessing Academic Rigor or iEvaluate. Please be aware that renewal of an administrator license, with an evaluator endorsement, requires a total of four semester hours of renewal credit.” 

To find iEvaluate courses, please visit the statewide AEA PD Online catalog. There are currently four iEvaluate classes scheduled, with the next course beginning March 18. There is one Assessing Academic Rigor (AAR) course scheduled beginning in April with another course proposed for April and May to be held in our Ames office. Looking ahead, we hope to offer another AAR course in late summer. Please watch the Connection for more information.
