The Trends and Contemplations of “Principal's Evaluation”

校長的教育理念及專業知能，對校務經營的良窳及學生學習成效，具有關鍵性的影響力。而在校務經營過程中，如何提高校長辦學績效，「校長評鑑」是個重要途徑。雖然「校長績效評鑑」已明文規範於「國民教育法」，但有關國民中小學校長的培育、評鑑、在職進修，國內至今仍缺乏一套完整的機制，使得校長專業化的發展受到限制。今日在績效責任及專業發展的要求下，校長評鑑是教育趨勢也是校長尋求成長的重要手段，因此，儘速建立學校校長評鑑標準及制度，以利地方縣市政府，據以遴聘適當之校長人選，實有其迫切需求。諺云：「鑑諸往而知來者」、「他山之石可以攻錯」，本文首先以文獻分析方式，回顧國內校長評鑑的歷史發展，並經由探討美、英兩國校長評鑑實施的現況，來掌握今日校長評鑑的趨勢與潮流；其次，從對歷史脈絡及發展狀況的分析，來省思校長評鑑的功能與目的，並對我國未來在校長評鑑可以進行的方向提出建議。

The educational concepts and professional knowledge of principal are not only the key factors of affecting achievement of students, but also the management qualities of school. In the process of school affairs management, “Evaluation” is one of the important way of improving the principal's ability of school management. Although “Citizen Education Law” has already stipulated the “Evaluation of Principal's Accountability”, and how to promote principal's professional development efficiently is also an issue that deserves concern. But until right now there isn't a completed system in Taiwan that includes “principal's cultivation” & “principal's evaluation” and “in-service training” et al. This situation will limit principal's professional development, and sometimes it can't lead school to confront the challenge or promotes school's competitiveness, when we face huge transformation of school's environments. Today, under the condition of “accountability” and the need of professional development, the “Evaluation of Principal's Accountability” is not only a trend but also an important method of search for growth. That is the reason why the need for establishing the standard and system as soon as possible is an urgent demand, and local authority can choose the suitable principal based on the standard. First, in this article we use the method of document analysis to explore present “principal's evaluation” in America and UK, and grasp the worldwide main stream. Second, we will contemplate the functions and purposes of “principal's evaluation” from the analysis of historical contexts and the trend of development, and then propose the feasible ways in the near future.
