An Analysis Of Teacher Evaluation Methods And Procedures Utilized By Elementary Principals In A Selected Sampling Of Nebraska's Aa Accredited Schools, Robert L. Lykke

Student Work

Wherever there are human beings, there will be evaluations. Man is an evaluating and goal seeking being. Even if he were to decide not to evaluate, he would end up evaluating how well he succeeded in giving up evaluating. So the issue is not whether there will be evaluation; rather it must involve questions such as what, how, by whom, for what purpose, and with what consequence.
