This form is designed to document the required MPES mid-year Formative Conference*. During the mid-year
conference the principal and supervisor document the principal’s progress in achieving the student learning
and organizational goals identified on Forms 2 A-C.
*Best practices indicate that formative conferences should be held multiple times during the school year.
However, it is only necessary to document the MPES mid-year conference on this form. This documentation
will be filed as part of the MPES process.

District (Name/Code)
This form is designed to document the conference in which the principal and supervisor compile the results
from Forms 2A-C) and the results from the Circle Survey to determine the MPES Summative Assessment
Score.
Section I. Record and Calculate Scores
1. Review the goals and quantified scores from the forms indicated.
2. To complete each row below, go to the relevant form (2A, 2B, 2C or Circle Survey Results).
3. Under Goal Quantification, determine which rating is appropriate based on the numerical goals agreed
upon at the Goal Setting Conference and actual school performance.
(For example, a principal and supervisor agreed that increasing the percent of 3rd graders who score
proficiency on the MCT2 language arts exam from 35% to between 40 and 45% percent was a 3. At the
end of the academic year, 42% of 3rd graders are scoring at the proficient level on the MCT2 in
language arts. In this case, a 3 would be circled in the appropriate box on Form 4.)
4. Review your Circle Survey data. Enter the overall score from the Circle Survey Report.
5. Circle the corresponding rating on this page.
6. Multiply this rating by the weight indicated to reach the total score for that goal or evaluation survey.
7. Total the scores and divide by 100. This will give you the summative evaluation score.
