Pitfalls in the Evaluation of Principals.

Harrison, William C.; Peterson, Kent D.

Urban Review, v18 n4 p221-35 1986

Describes the characteristics of a statewide principal evaluation system. Even when an evaluation system is detailed, specific, and statewide, inconsistencies develop because of the special nature of principals' work. The system breaks down in the sampling of performance and outputs, and in the communication of negative feedback. (PS)
