Audit of Principal Effectiveness: A Process for Self-Improvement
Valentine, Jerry
Feedback data provide an avenue to improved perceptions; in the educational setting, improved perceptions translate into personal growth and more positive organizational culture. To provide a valid, reliable, and practical instrument for faculty feedback regarding administrative skill, the Audit of Principal Effectiveness was developed in 1982. Over the next 4 years the instrument was statistically anaylzed, used in research and schools, refined, reanalyzed, and shortened; since 1986 it has been used in numerous research studies and in hundreds of schools across the country. The revised instrument provides the principal with teacher insight on 80 items of principal effectiveness. In addition, teacher perceptions are provided regarding three domains: (1) organizational development containing the factors of organizational direction, linkage, and procedures; (2) organizational environment containing the factors of teacher and student relations, and interactive and affective processes; and (3) the educational program containing the factors of instructional and curricular improvement. Factor scores within the three domains provide the principal with an understanding of personal administrative skills beyond the scope of each individual instrument item. Suggestions for use of the audit include providing anonymity for persons completing the instrument and summarizing and sharing the findings from the assessment with the faculty.

Decolonizing Qualitative Instruments: Adapting Qualitative Instruments for Meaningful and Culturally Appropriate Data Collection in Schools with Indigenous Majority Populations
Valentine, Jerry; Cockrell, Karen S.; Douglass, Mary
The purpose of this research project is to explore decolonizing an observational assessment process and consider its utility for use in diverse school settings. To meet this research goal, the research team selected the Instructional Practices Inventory (IPI), a process for profiling student engaged learning for school improvement. The research team will examine: 1) the vocabulary used in the instrument, 2) the criteria used to classify observations, 3) the recommended procedures for facilitating faculty analysis and problem-solving, and 4) the utilization of cultural interpreters from the target populations.
