Assessment
Assessment is a vital component of effective school leadership. School principals need to foster a learning environment that utilizes data to monitor student progress, improve the instructional process and learning environment, and ensure high levels of personal and academic growth for all students. By using various assessment tools and strategies, principals can provide feedback, guidance, and support to teachers and students, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of their school’s curriculum and instruction.
Assessment is a dimension in the Learning Domain under the School Leader Paradigm.
