While plenty has been written about evaluating teacher performance, there is a dearth of material related to evaluating educational administrators. Douglas B Reeves, a national expert on the topics of educational assessment and accountability, writes a book that draws on the current research, theory, and best practices of leadership, organizational performance, and personnel evaluation. The book would contain the information and tools necessary to evaluate all types of educational leaders and improve performance.
