Put Teeth and Meaning into the Head’s Evaluation

For many schools and governance members, this is the time of year that focus and planning turn to the evaluation of the head and even contract renewal.  This responsibility can be daunting, and all too often a source of deep dissatisfaction for governance members and heads alike.

Join us to gain insight and learn strategies to help make the process more meaningful and useful for all.

Putting Teeth and Meaning into the Head’s Evaluation


Sunday 08 December 2024

07:00-09:00 am EST

Facilitated by: Chip Barder and Bambi Betts

The school governance body has one employee: the head of school. How does governance ensure that the head is effective?

 

What will we learn?

Join us to explore tools and questions:

 

  • Do we really need to evaluate our head and if so why?

  • What does an effective head look like?

  • What can governance genuinely and realistically evaluate in a head?

  • What are the components of an effective, impactful process?

  • What are the sources of evidence for a head’s effectiveness?

  • How can we use the research on motivation and accountability to design the process?

  • How can we use the process to support practical decisions such as renewal, bonuses, etc.

  • Why is this process so frequently not impactful or effective?

Who is it for?

  • Governance members, owners and others involved in school governance

  • School heads
