This book is about the practice of decision making by school
principals and about ways to improve this practice by capitalizing
on evaluation dimensions. Much has been written on decision making
but surprisingly little on decision making in the school
principalship. Much has been also written on evaluation as well as
on evaluation and decision making, but not much has been written on
evaluation in decision making, especially decision making in the
principalship. This book presents two messages. One is that
decision making in the principalship can be studied and improved
and not only talked about in abstract terms. The other message is
that evaluation can contribute to the understanding of decision
making in the principalship and to the improvement of its practice.
In this book we call for the conception of an evaluation-minded
principal, a principal who has a wide perspective on the nature of
evaluation and its potential benefits, a principal who is also
inclined to use evaluation perceptions and techniques as part of
his/her decision-making process. This book was conceived in 1985
with the idea to combine thoughts about educational administration
with thoughts about educational evaluation. Studies of decision
making in the principalship had already been on their way. We
decided to await the findings, and in the meantime we wrote a first
conceptual version of evaluation in decision making. As the studies
were completed we wrote a first empirical version of same.
