School district superintendents are and must be accountable to their school boards, communities, faculties, and students for delivering effective educational leadership. To assure that they are evaluated fairly, competently, and functionally, superintendents need to help their school boards plan and implement evaluation systems that adhere to the evaluation standards. Superintendent Performance Evaluation outlines some of the problems and deficiencies in current evaluation practice and offers professionally-based leads for strengthening or replacing superintendent performance evaluation systems. This book focuses on the on-the-job performance of school district superintendents as they implement school board policy. The decision to focus on performance evaluation reflects the importance of this kind of evaluation in the move to raise educational standards and improve educational accountability. Boards and superintendents are advised to make superintendent performance evaluation an integral part of the district's larger system for evaluating district needs, plans, processes, and accomplishments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superintendent evaluation is a unique process that is often neglected but critical in this era of accountability. This invaluable guide provides an overview of the entire process, including: crafting board policy, criteria for good policy, and prototype policy. It identifies the unique challenges posed by the evaluation process and describes a three-tiered model of evaluation. This model is anchored in the professional standards for superintendency established by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA), the National School Boards Association (NSBA) Key Work of School Boards, the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards, and the National Technology Standards for School Administrators. Numerous sample forms are included to assist school districts in creating a customized evaluation protocol to enhance performance. Suggestions on next steps for the reader conclude the book and additional resources are described in the annotated bibliography. This handbook will be of interest to superintendents, school board members, and professionals involved in the development and support of superintendents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose of the study . The purpose of this study was to examine current superintendent evaluation practices in the State of Missouri. Superintendents' perceptions in regard to the purpose of those evaluation systems, if those evaluation systems are effective in relation to the prescribed purpose, the perceived quality, and the impact on superintendent performance were explored as well. Study design . Superintendents in 386 of the 524 public school districts across the state of Missouri responded to the survey. The survey consisted of 36 questions broken down into demographic items, evaluation process, and superintendent perceptions about performance evaluation. The survey sought to answer seven research questions and to test three null hypotheses. The hypotheses were tested using Pearson product-moment coefficient of correlation. Findings . The findings of most interest from this study were: (a) 81.3% of superintendents were over the age of 45, (b) 87.2% of districts use a formal process for superintendent evaluation, (c) 77.8% of school boards did not formally observe the superintendent during school hours, (d) 89.0% of superintendents reported they had two or fewer conferences with the board about performance as a result of observations by the board, (e) 75.2% of superintendents reported that they received a summative evaluation report, (f) 72.6% of superintendents reported that a conference was held to discuss the summative evaluation report, (g) 74.2 percent of superintendents reported that they view the evaluation process as being positive, (h) 72.6% reported that the process used in their district was fair, (i) accountability of the superintendent was reported as the main purpose for evaluation, and (j) the district's reported use of Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education guidelines and procedures for superintendent evaluation correlated with the perceived quality and overall impact of the evaluation process as reported by superintendents. Conclusions . From this study, it is evident that many of the state's superintendents will be eligible for retirement over the next few years. There will be a need in future years for individuals to move into the superintendency to replace those that are retiring. The preparation phase is an important component in the superintendent evaluation process, and from this study it is evident that many boards and superintendents do not adequately prepare for the evaluation process. The majority of school districts use a formal process for superintendent evaluation. However, the study also revealed that there are several sources of procedures, practices and processes used for superintendent evaluation. The formative phase is another important component of the superintendent evaluation process. From this study, it was evident that most school boards and superintendents do not adequately complete this phase of superintendent evaluation. The presence of a summative component, including a summative form and a summative conference, is an important component of the superintendent evaluation process. From this study, it was evident that most school boards and superintendents are doing a much better job at this phase of superintendent evaluation.
