2. Use data from the evaluation rubric, other evidence collected and best practices relative to evaluating student growth to link teacher/principal and school-level professional development plans to evaluation results.

3. Create, in collaboration with teachers/principals, supportive, targeted professional development plans that consider past results, contribute to professional growth, and assist teachers/principals in aligning professional development and goal-setting to school improvement goals.
