The Politics of Principal Evaluation.
Davis, Stephen H.; Hensley, Phyllis A.
Thrust for Educational Leadership, v29 n1 p22-26 Sep-Oct 1999
Telephone interviews with several California principals and superintendents disclosed inconsistent principal-evaluation procedures. Principals said they were concerned about possible negative influences of covert superintendent and/or board agendas and district micromanagement of schools on their evaluations. Strategies for improving practice and for "neutralizing" political influences are discussed. Contains 10 references. (MLH)
