Oneway to achieve this is through principal evaluation, which has experienced significant changes in the last decade. We conducted a national exploratory study (50 states) to document the trends in and provide an illustration of the current situation of states’ principal evaluation policies and practices. Using literature-based themes, our analysis of state statutes and regulations revealed that a majority of states have policies requiring at least one literature-based element. Only four (8%) states had statutesand/or regulations regarding all elements of principal evaluation that have been noted in the literature. Student achievement measures were the most common component—required in 66% of states. In addition, most states required principal evaluators to be trained and principals to be evaluated annually. We propose that future research focuses on the validity and reliability of measures and models used for principal evaluation—two aspects rarely addressed in principal evaluation policies—to ensure principal performance is meeting the needs of students, teachers, and schools.

Una forma de lograrlo es a través de la evaluación principal, que ha experimentado cambios importantes en la última década. Realizamos un estudio exploratorio nacional (50 estados) para documentar las tendencias y proporcionar una ilustración de la situación actual de las principales políticas y prácticas de evaluación de los estados. Usando temas basados en la literatura, nuestro análisis de los estatutos y regulaciones estatales reveló que la mayoría de los estados tienen políticas que requieren al menos un elemento basado en la literatura. Solo cuatro (8%) estados tenían estatutos y / o regulaciones con respecto a todos los elementos de la evaluación principal que se han señalado en la literatura. Las medidas de rendimiento estudiantil fueron el componente más común, requerido en el 66% de los estados. Además, la mayoría de los estadosexigían que los evaluadores principales fueran capacitados y que los directores debían ser evaluados anualmente. Proponemos que la investigación futura se concentre en la validez y confiabilidad de las medidas y modelos usados para la evaluación del director—dos aspectos que rara vez se abordan en las políticas de evaluación del director—para asegurar que el desempeño del director satisfagalas necesidades de los estudiantes, maestros y escuelas.  \nPalabras clave: evaluación principal; evaluación del administrador; política educativa; supervision  \nAvaliação principal nos Estados Unidos: Uma revisão nacional dos estatutos eregulamentos estaduais  \nResumo: O crescente reconhecimento de quanto os diretores são importantes para o aprendizadodos alunos e como eles fazem","cbCaibGLErnorWXR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibGLErnorWXR","pdf",809231,36,"English","# Abstract\n## National exploratory study overview\n## Statutory and regulatory findings across states\n## Common policy components\n## Recommendations for future research","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the national exploratory study?\",\"answer\":\"It documents trends and illustrates the current situation of U.S. states’ principal evaluation policies and practices based on statutes and regulations across 50 states.\"},{\"question\":\"What policy component is most commonly required by states?\",\"answer\":\"Student achievement measures are the most common component, required in 66% of states.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the article call for future research?\",\"answer\":\"It proposes future work on the validity and reliability of measures and models used for principal evaluation, because these aspects are rarely addressed in current policies.\"}]","Principal Evaluation in the United States - A National Review of State Statutes and Regulations | PDF",1792093808,91]
