Abstract | Abstract Careful evaluation of principals can help school systems to ensure that they have effective principals and effective schools. This study investigated policies and practices used by school systems in Alberta, Canada, to evaluate principals. Nearly all the superintendents in Alberta and a sample of recently appointed principals participated in the study. Three sources of data were used: (1) policy documents supplied by superintendents; (2) questionnaires completed by superintendents and principals; and (3) interviews with ten superintendents and ten principals. The results revealed substantial diversity among practices of principal evaluation, several constraints upon effective evaluation, the complexity of the evaluation function, substantial differences between the opinions of superintendents and principals about the importance of evaluation purposes, and the potential for positive effects for school districts of this evaluation activity. |
