The principal review process is intended as a tool to aid each local Catholic school in fulfilling its teaching mission. Leadership determines the direction and quality of excellence in each school, establishes a climate that is identifiably Catholic, and nurtures the growth of teachers and students. Performance review assists the principal in meeting these responsibilities.
Effective principals are essential to effective schools. The development and health of a school community depend upon regular and thoughtful assessment. Each year all the members of the school community take time to reflect on their own progress toward the achievement of determined goals. This reflection enables those involved to measure growth and set new goals for future accomplishment.
A performance review process enables principals to determine where they are in relation to where they want to be. It allows for the assessment of progress as appropriate to the principal in the teaching mission of the Church. The performance review process assists the principal in the improvement of his/her performance as well as encourages and supports what is going well. Personal rights, privileges and responsibilities, and the requirement of written documentation are all essential components of a procedure that is fair to all parties involved.
