C.Hinderliter Post for 10/26
Before today's discussion, I didn't give much thought to a principals evaluation. I'm sure that in our school district, no one is asked to evaluate a principal. I have never heard anyone talk about it, and we had a principal that everyone griped about but he was never fired, just went on to take a new job - much to everyone's relief. I am interested in finding out what kind of tools are used to evaluate a principal... Staff surveys would be an interesting tool! How does a Supt. evaluate a principal when they aren't in the same building? How much emphasis is put on test scores? These are all questions I have about principal evaluations.
