Recensioner i media

The superintendent oversees or manages all aspects of the school division. He or she is directly responsible for the daily activities, functioning and outcomes. He or she is directly accountable to the school board. Thus, the school board and superintendent relationship must be very sound, strong and trusting. The superintendent’s evaluation instrument must be direct, concise, and objectively identify the performance indicators/standards to which he or she will be evaluated. The performance standards serve as the foundation of the evaluation instrument. This book provides Board members and superintendents the tools to develop a sound evaluation system that is fair and drives accountability.
