Evaluating How You Define Adequate Progress
評鑑如何界定「適當進步」


In October 1995, the State Legislation passed F.S. 229.57 (7)(e) defining schools identified as performance
grade “F, ” as “…schools failing to make adequate progress.” In December 2001, the State Board of Education passed rule Rule 6A-1.09981 (1)(a)3 stating a minimum requirement for adequate progress is deemed to be met if at least fifty (50) percent of the lowest twenty-five (25) percent of students in the school who scored at or below FCAT Achievement Level 3 in reading the previous year make learning gains as defined in paragraph (5)(b) of the rule.
1995年佛羅里達州通過法律明確指出F級的學校都沒有達到適當進步。2001年州教育董事會公布適當進步的最低標準,對象以後25%的學生為標的團體。


In additional, adequate progress is defined locally at the district and school levels to determine the degree of
successful implementation of school improvement plans. To assist with this the Department developed a model for locally defining adequate progress (1995) that includes a tiered approach:
• Tier 1 - adequate progress for each school objective written,
• Tier 2 - adequate progress for each school or state goal, and
• Tier 3 - adequate progress for the entire school improvement plan.
適當進步也依照當地學區或學校層級決定了學校改進計畫的執行程度。
第一級:學校目標的適當進步
第二級:學校目的或州目的的適當進步
第三級:整體學校改進計畫的適當進步


EXAMPLE FROM ALL STATE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
各州學校改進計畫範例


Tier 1
School Goal 1: All State School students make annual learning gains sufficient to acquire the
knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to master state standards in the area of reading.
第一級
學校目的一:各州學生都要有足夠學習以獲得知識、技能和閱讀精熟的能力。
(目標一、二、三如前述)




Tier 2
School Goal 1: All State School students make annual learning gains sufficient to acquire
the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to master state standards in the area of
reading.
第二級
學校目的一:各州學生都要有足夠學習以獲得知識、技能和閱讀精熟的能力。

Evaluating Principals. #3

Evaluating Principals.
Publication Date: 1991-00-00 
Author: Peterson, David 


WHAT ARE THE TOOLS USED IN
PRINCIPAL EVALUATION?
校長評鑑使用的工具為何?



Valentine (1987) 界定了廣泛蒐集評鑑校長的來源有:考勤、測驗紀錄、委員會報告、短訊、簡報及工作日誌等。他尤其力促督學必須緊盯著校長,以全面記錄校長的所作所為。這些記錄所得的資料其後都能夠被轉化成校長評鑑的形式。對教職員、學生和家長的調查都能成為可以量化校長重要工作面向的證據。

Anderson提到BellSouth公司發展出能全面調查的工具,提供給89個不同地區的教師或其他使用者用來評估校長的行為。該方案會召開大規模的後續會議以便能解釋調查結果,其中各種資料來源提供許多評論也會在記錄表現上發揮很大的作用。

如此便有許多人都能成為評鑑校長的一員。想當然爾,只要是評鑑成員當中若是受到校長監督的人,都應該享有匿名。Lindahl 此城市學區1986年結合問卷、自評和評鑑小組進行研究。該小組由督學、中學或小學的董事和選定的校長所組成。小組評鑑的結果通常比起單一評鑑者更為平衡。校長常以同儕評鑑警惕自己(Anderson 1989, Duke and Stiggins 1985)。

評鑑的材料可用於以下幾個方面:1.總結性評鑑:其所關心的是薪資和任期,但也能作為是補救專業發展的工具。2.形成性評鑑:和總結性評鑑相同,其實都是行進過程當中的一部份,而不是一年一次而已。Anderson (1989)主張例如舉行即時觀察後的回饋會議。Valentine (1987) 指出校長嚴重的缺陷都應該在會議上一併提出,並且透過建構成長計畫來補短。因此校長的年度評鑑應該要有出奇制勝的策略存在。

School leadership in UK has got much better #1


Schools 'much better led'
School leadership in England has got much better,
inspectors say.
Friday, 27 June, 2003








Ofsted 指出「這是個艱難的工作,
但有許多人能夠盡力做好」


根據教育標準局(Office for Standards in Education,Ofsted) 說明超過五年的時間有高達兩倍的校長
能夠提供學校卓越的領導和管理。而自從1996-1997
年間學校具有良好或卓越的領導與管理的比例則好
幾倍增加。
在2001-2002年的視導報告資料中突顯出有40%的小學
與47%的中學表現良好或是卓越,而1996-1997年間則
分別是15%與19%。
主任督學David Bell在會議上發表該視導報告時說明:
"The most effective schools are distinguished by leadership that is inspirational, with a strong commitment
 to the school, its pupils and the community." 即最有效
能的學校主要特點在於領導能鼓舞人心,並且能夠
對學校、學生和社區有強大的承諾。」
他指出當他在國內參觀各校,他看到了校長激勵師生
要能夠「面對逆境」("in the face of adversity")。
同時他也提到「他相當感佩於這些傑出的校長、並扮
演著鼓舞人心、使人忠誠與貢獻精神的領導與管理角色。」

Blair sends heads back to college #1

首相Blair送校長回大學
Tuesday, October 20, 1998


首相Blair已經宣布一間目標為訓練未來校長的學院即將成立。在倫敦的會議中,揭示英國學校領導學院的計畫同時也任命500位新校長。


當時預計在2000年成立該學院,開設的課程是提供給具有NPQH資格的校長。

當時有超過4000名想要在英格蘭與威爾斯當校長的教師,都以該目標前進接受訓練,在往後也會成為是取得校長職務的必備條件之一。

學院也會為校長提供在職訓練,就會得到「?0m」。部長們其發展也希望可以透過公部門和私部門的夥伴關係獲得資助。
