More Book Details

Description of the Book:

A case study description of work toward developing an evaluation model for implementation of a statewide principal incentive program illustrates the achieving of consensus when multiple stakeholders’ interests were involved. The type of training and background needed by evaluators are also considered. In response to the Educational Improvement Act of 1984 (South Carolina), principal improvement programs were initiated, requiring an evaluation model. The first task was to select criteria and performance indicators. Extensive discussion by a committee of educators and community representatives reduced the list to 25 indicators. The next task was identifying appropriate evidence for judging performance. Use of small groups helped build consensus. The model as constituted was evaluated with a hypothetical case study. The process suggested that successful evaluators need diversified training and an understanding of evaluation in multiple contexts. Models that make sense to stakeholders should be used. The outlined model includes the dimensions of student achievement, leadership, staff supervision, community relations, and personal development.
