Evaluator I & II Approval Courses

November 20-21, 2025

Course Overview

1. The AD evaluator approval renewal course is exactly that, a renewal course.  The initial Department of Education evaluator approval course must be taken first before the AD course can be taken.

2. AD evaluator renewal course will be a 1 hr CEU credit.

3. The AD evaluator renewal course will consist of LTI courses 707 (6 hrs), 723 (6 hrs) and a workshop/panel discussion focusing on evaluation instruments and content based on Department of Education guidance (2 hrs), and required assignment (1 hr).

4. LTI courses will need to be completed on site.  If an individual has already completed either or both courses they will need to complete the courses a second time on site.

5. Details in relation to registration, location, dates, and times will be forwarded to AD's via email and be placed on the IHSADA website once those details have been worked out.

6. The AD evaluator renewal is for the evaluation approval of coaches ONLY.  If an AD is also required by their district to evaluate classroom instruction, then this renewal course WILL NOT meet evaluator approval renewal requirements. 

7. Registration cost has not yet been determined. 

8. Please direct any clarifying questions to Tom Lipovac, Evaluator Training Co-Coordinator & Mentoring, at tom.lipovac@gmail.com.
