Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative research study was to examine superintendents' and principals' perceptions of how principal evaluation systems influenced a principal's leadership in promoting high levels of student achievement. Survey results, principal interviews, superintendent interviews, and principal evaluations tools were used to gather the information and data. Results from the study revealed there were no patterns of agreement among the four school districts studied on what was evaluated in the district's principal evaluation systems. Moreover, there were opposing views within districts among principals and between principals and superintendents on what was actually evaluated in their district's principal appraisal system. When a review of the districts' principal appraisal systems was conducted for linkages to ISLLC and the Pennsylvania Inspired Leadership Standards, data demonstrated only one district had explicit references to both of the Standards. The other districts varied from some direct linkages to the Standards to no mention of any of the Standards. Additionally, the study confirmed that there were some similarities among components of the principals evaluation systems among the four school districts studied. Lastly, the studied revealed none of the four school districts which participated in this study used meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) as a measure when evaluating principals.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: For an evaluation system to be effective, both the evaluator and the evaluatee must agree on the theoretical importance and practical relevance of the criteria and have confidence in the evaluator to apply these criteria. This study describes differences and correlations between the perceptions of superintendents and principals with respect to the theoretical importance, practical relevance, and confidence they both have in a superintendent's ability to evaluate principals in the four domains of leadership included in North Carolina's new principals' evaluation system: instructional, organizational, moral/ethical, and managerial leadership. The study surveyed superintendents and their principals in school districts in North Carolina that had enrollments between 5,000 and 25,000 students in 1998-99. The total respondent group included 47 superintendents and 518 principals. Descriptive statistics, hierarchical linear modeling, t-tests, and correlations were used to analyze the superintendents' and principals' perceptions. Seven major conclusions were derived from the study's extensive findings. Most important of these, both superintendents and principals consider the four leadership domains to be more theoretically important to being an effective principal than practically relevant to the daily tasks of a principal, and the confidence ratings of both groups are not as high as their importance and relevance ratings. Furthermore, the confidence ratings of principals are significantly lower than those of superintendents. With a few specific exceptions, these perceptions do not vary with demographic or experience variables.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose of the study . The purpose of this research was to determine how superintendents and principals perceived the implementation of Performance-Based Principal Evaluations (PBPE) and the impact PBPE had on principals' job performance. This research was guided by six questions regarding the perceptions of superintendents and principals of the implementation and impact of PBPE, and how these perceptions compared. The research also determined what relationship, if any, existed between the implementation and impact of PBPE. Procedures . A questionnaire developed for this research was mailed to the superintendents and principals of 125 randomly selected school districts in Missouri that met enrollment criterion. The questionnaire collected demographic and profile data of the participants. The participants' perceptions of the implementation and impact of PBPE were determined using a Likert-type scale to respond to various components and processes of PBPE. The data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. Mean responses were computed for each of the components and processes of PBPE and placed in rank order for analysis. Subscale total means were used to compare the perceptions of the superintendents and the principals. A Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationship between perceived implementation and impact of PBPE. Findings . More superintendents than principals reported that PBPE was used in their school districts. When responses by the superintendents and principals were analyzed, superintendents perceived PBPE as being implemented to a greater degree than did the principals. Similarly, the superintendents perceived the impact of PBPE to be greater than the principals. When the perceptions of the superintendents and principals for implementation and impact were examined, a significant positive relationship was found to exist. The completion of a summative evaluation as part of PBPE was ranked highest by both the superintendents and the principals. Conclusions . It was found that PBPE is not implemented in all Missouri school districts, and when PBPE is being used, the components of the formative phase of the evaluation are not fully implemented. The use of evaluation to facilitate improved job performance of the principals was not evident as nearly half the principals reported that professional growth plans were not developed. The relationship found between the perceptions of implementation and impact may indicate that a higher degree of implementation could result in a higher degree of impact PBPE has on principals' job performance. This relationship should be investigated through further research.

Book excerpt: Effective principals run effective schools--this much we know. Accurately measuring principal effectiveness, however, has long been an elusive goal for school administrators. In this indispensable book, author James H. Stronge details the steps and resources necessary for designing a comprehensive principal evaluation system that is based on sound research and established best practices. Here you'll find everything you need to thoroughly assess principal performance, including * An in-depth analysis of research findings related to principal evaluation. * A set of seven field-tested and research-based principal performance standards. * Detailed indicators for each standard that describe the principal's duties and expected level of performance. * A four-point performance appraisal rubric for each standard. * Forms and checklists for use in compiling evidence of performance and completing evaluations. * A step-by-step guide to planning, designing, implementing, and troubleshooting a successful evaluation system. If there's a new principal evaluation system rolling out in your school or district, or if your administration is planning to build one, Principal Evaluation: Standards, Rubrics, and Tools for Effective Performance is essential for ensuring that the system is accurate, fair, and effective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT IS EFFECTIVE TEACHING? It’s not enough to say “I know it when I see it” – not when we’re expecting so much more from students and teachers than in the past. To help teachers achieve greater success with their students we need new and better ways to identify and develop effective teaching. The Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) project represents a groundbreaking effort to find out what works in the classroom. With funding by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the MET project brought together leading academics, education groups, and 3,000 teachers to study teaching and learning from every angle. Its reports on student surveys, observations, and other measures have shaped policy and practice at multiple levels. This book shares the latest lessons from the MET project. With 15 original studies, some of the field’s most preeminent experts tap the MET project’s unprecedented collection of data to offer new insights on evaluation methods and the current state of teaching in our schools. As feedback and evaluation methods evolve rapidly across the country, Designing Teacher Evaluation Systems is a must read and timely resource for those working on this critical task. PRAISE FOR DESIGNING TEACHER EVALUATION SYSTEMS “This book brings together an all-star team to provide true data-driven, policy-relevant guidance for improving teaching and learning. From student achievement to student perceptions, from teacher knowledge to teacher practices, the authors address key issues surrounding the elements of a comprehensive teacher evaluation and improvement system. Highly recommended for anyone seriously interested in reform.” —PETE GOLDSCHMIDT, Assistant Secretary, New Mexico Public Education Department “This book is an invaluable resource for district and state leaders who are looking to develop growth and performance systems that capture the complexity of teaching and provide educators with the feedback needed to develop in their profession.” —TOM BOASBERG, Superintendent, Denver Public Schools “A rare example of practical questions driving top quality research and a must read for anyone interested in improving the quality of teaching.” —ROBERT C. GRANGER, Former President (Ret.), The William T. Grant Foundation “This will be the ‘go to’ source in years to come for those involved in rethinking how teachers will be evaluated and how evaluation can and should be used to increase teacher effectiveness. The superb panel of contributors to this book presents work that is incisive, informative, and accessible, providing a real service to the national efforts around teacher evaluation reform.” —JOHN H. TYLER, Professor of Education, Brown University

This book was released on 2016 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to evaluate teachers accurately is indispensable for both the development of effective teachers and for student achievement. In this era of accountability, it is important school districts develop evaluation systems that comply with the propriety, utility, feasibility, and accuracy standards of the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluations. This study focused on a process evaluation of a new teacher evaluation program. While previous studies have been conducted from the teachers or the evaluators perspectives, this study examined both perspectives. More than 1,500 teachers and 41 principals were invited to complete an online instrument modified from surveys conducted by Hopkins and Stronge. Of concern to the teachers and principals was the accuracy of the new evaluation program, they did not see the value and validity of using SLOs to improve teaching practices to increase learning, and teachers slightly favored using the professional practices component more than the SLO component of the evaluation. Using SLO data in teacher evaluation is an unknown dynamic for teachers; therefore, school administrators need to understand how teachers perceive this change as it relates to teacher support of the new evaluation process. If districts are to safeguard the fidelity, implementation, and sustainability of new evaluation programs for teachers, districts must acknowledge the influence teacher perceptions have on endorsing implementation efforts toward change. Teachers' perceptions toward adjusting instructional practices to align with the standards and criteria of new evaluation programs can either hinder or ensure program implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a framework for administrator peer evaluation within school districts that is already at work and succeeding. The evaluation design emphasizes results, promotes professional growth and development, models expectations for students and teachers, and meets Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium standards. Chapter 1 highlights the historical context for challenging the status quo of a school district and moving to a different level of professional engagement. Chapter 2 describes the genesis of a peer-evaluation concept for principals. A framework for student-based decision making is also outlined in this chapter. Chapter 3 documents the process of establishing a new format for the evaluation process. Chapter 4 contains crucial information for school districts seeking a model and describes the process of creating continuum-based principal performance and leadership standards. Chapter 5 contains a summary of progress, a view to the future, an examination of unresolved challenges, and the identification of future opportunities that will fuel efforts as the leadership role is redefined. Insights from principals' perspectives are also provided in this chapter. Appendix A contains a copy of the article, "Principals Evaluating Peers," in which the early phases of establishing the principal peer-evaluation process are described and its strengths and weaknesses identified.
