Fair and objective principal assessments must take school context—factors like school type, performance history, and the influence of poverty—into consideration, said NAESP Deputy Executive Director Mike Schooley in an EdWeek webinar this week. For "Making Principal Evaluations Count," Schooley and Steven Ross of the Johns Hopkins University Center for Research and Reform in Education shared the latest research on principal evaluations, and how to make assessment tools that focus on the traits of excellent school leaders.
