Administrators have always been evaluated in one way or another. Decisions on hiring, training, promotion, and firing of administrators have always been necessary; such decisions are based on some sort of evaluation, whether formal or informal, of administrative performance. The concept of accountability has also affected administrator evaluation. As the public, and in many cases the legislature, press schools to become accountable for their product, a formal administrator evaluation process becomes an indispensable part of school operations. This paper reviews literature on evaluation philosophies, problems, procedures, and instruments, in theory and in practice, to help a school district make decisions regarding evaluation. A selective bibliography is included. (Author)
