  1. Measuring Principal Performance: How Rigorous Are Publicly Available Assessment Instruments? Matthew Clifford Learning Point Associates matthew.clifford@learningpt.org Presentation for PEAC July 2010

  3. What is Your Perspective onPrincipal Performance Assessment? • What instruments are you or others currently using? • How systematically are the instruments being administered? • How are results being used? • How confident are you in the assessment instruments and process?

  4. What Research Tells Us about Principal Performance Assessment • School districts’ principal performance assessments appear to be inconsistently administered and measured (Goldring et al, 2009; Thomas et al, 2000; Murphy et al, 2007). • Principal performance assessments are not always aligned with existing state or national professional standards for practice, and lack justification or documentation of psychometric research (Heck & Marcoulides, 1996).

  6. Principal Performance Assessment: Recommended Attributes • Transparent • Trusted • Consequential • Systematic and consistent • Involving multiple measures • Validate and reliable (Brown-Sims, 2010)

  7. Our Study: Question & Method Question: How valid and reliable are publicly available principal performance assessment instruments?

  8. Our Study: Review Criteria and Results Criteria for inclusion: • Claim of use as a principal performance assessment • Recent (within past 15 years or so) • Publicly available technical information Results of scan: • 2000 articles identified by keyword search & snowball sampling • Approx. 400 examined • 20 articles reviewed on 8 assessment instruments

  9. Our Study: Instruments Reviewed

  10. Our Study: Instruments Reviewed

  11. Our Study: Instruments Reviewed

  12. Our Study: What did we learn? • If there are many principal performance assessment being used in the field, then evidence of their reliability and validity is not publicly available. • Of those reviewed, 5 of 8 were developed in tested in the mid-to-late1980s. • Survey-based assessment gather self, and others (3), perceptions of principal performance. One used a trained rater. • No information on consequential validity, and two examples of concurrent validity.
