IV. Work on New Student Growth Academy
Group members went through the slide deck to see what they would like to add or change as well as how to guide the facilitator to bring forth quality conversations with the group they are training to be evaluators. These questions are focused with specific outcomes in mind.
Also, the group discussed considerations to address conversations they have had with participants in the past. Having the anticipatory conversations now will help the trainers be more prepared to facilitate robust conversations with the evaluators that they will be training.
The group had a discussion regarding the Application Dissemination portion of the Academy and what type of Application & Dissemination would be appropriate for the Academy.
Committee members were assigned various tasks to complete before the next meeting on April 18. Everyone on the committee will view the videos Dr. Frank provided and align them to the six themes of equity from the Danielson Framework.
V. Discussion
Discussion pertained to the new Administrator Academy 4050. Ms. Scott would like to clear up conversations about the trainers for the new AA 4050. This will be a different format. It will be two-day, in-person training for initial and retraining. Increasing the number of trainers will be vital for the success of the training. Dr. Dugan stated that Illinois Principals Association (IPA) would like to have five active trainers, the Illinois Association of School Administrators (IASA) would like to have five field service directors and Dr. Orzel, along with whoever would take her place at IASA. The cap was suggested at up to nine trainers per entity; however, the numbers may vary based on need. Ms. Scott wants at least three trainers each for the north, central, and southern sections of the state.
It was proposed to approve the invitation for the Train-the-Trainer session scheduled for April 22 and 23.
Ms. Alsop made motion to approve language for the invitation to potential trainers; Ms. Triezenberg seconded the motion.

Discussion continued pertaining to AA 4050, this time pivoting to marketing for the Academy. Ms. Scott met with some representatives from the entities involved about how to launch the information about the new AA. The conversation was that the big change would be more well received if the entities put out their own language of support before ISBE makes an official launch of information. One of the entities is already putting together some information regarding the entity support of the new AA and the changes before ISBE releases information.
