Principal Performance Reviews

The educational system is very different from other industries, like retail, IT, etc. But contrary to the popular belief, there are a lot of similarities as well. For better or worse, schools are a business.

They need to have a product (great teaching), excellent customer satisfaction, great employee satisfaction, and more. The goal of education may be very different from the goal of, say, a grocery store, but how a school gets there is going to involve many of the same principles, including: Excellent use of resources. Commitment to employees and “customers” (students) Training, invention, and so on.

For a school to get ahead it needs to be constantly evolving, and it needs to be monitoring itself in order to make sure that it is being operated correctly. That’s one of the main reasons that all schools should consider an online principal performance review.

Like all businesses, in order to succeed there must be excellent leadership. And yet there is no one overlooking and evaluating the leaders. School principals, and school principal satisfaction, play a key role in the success of the school. In order to determine how effectively the school is operating, it’s going to be important to make sure you’re evaluating the principal – both for the school’s sake, and for the principal’s sake, as they often don’t have a perception of how people are approving of their role.

Initiating a principal evaluating program can be difficult without experience, and finding volunteers in the organization is harder, because unlike a for-profit company, there rarely are employees that can run a survey themselves full time. Luckily, online surveys can make evaluating the principal much easier. Most schools have the email addresses of parents.

With the SurveyMethods software system, creating a principal evaluation survey is very easy with a few clicks of the button. We have an anonymous survey platform that can then send all of the surveys to parents, and let those parents fill them out at a time that works best for them. Our survey software system is a simple, easy way to keep on top of your school and your principal, and make sure that you’re learning all you can about the way the school is being managed.
