Each university or college that offers a principal or administrator preparation program or school district or board of cooperative services that provides evaluator training shall structure the evaluator training program on a standards-based skill outcome model that takes into account research concerning evaluation of licensed personnel. At a minimum, each evaluator training program shall include standards-based performance assessments of each participant, demonstrated competency, and certification by the university, college, school district, or board of cooperative services of the skills mastered by each participant. The university, college, school district, or board of cooperative services shall work collaboratively with principals and administrators who are responsible for evaluating licensed personnel to develop research-based standards for assessing and certifying evaluator skills.
