從校長同儕評鑑談增進校長專業發展的可行性

教學專業與行政的專業，目前漸受重視，國中小校長身為學校的領導者，深切的影響一所學校；校長的專業發展與評鑑，也日漸受到重視。評鑑是提升校長專業發展的途徑之一，然而校長評鑑有其難為之處。本文嘗試以曾辦理過校長評鑑的新北市以及美國Chula Vista Elementary School District為例，來探討辦理校長同儕評鑑以促成校長專業發展的可行性。本文先探討在教育專業來臨的時代，校長評鑑的重要性及其基本概念，並分析在目前環境下，國民中小學校長進行校長評鑑的困難，並探究以校長同儕評鑑進行校長評鑑的可行性，最後並以國內唯一以校長團體自行辦理的校長評鑑的新北市經驗以及美國Chula Vista Elementary School District 兩地區為例，來比較其異同之處；最後並提出對相關單位進行校長評鑑制度規劃及推動的建議。

This study focuses on the importance of principal evaluation and its basic ideas with the coming of educational professionalism. Moreover, it analyzes the difficulties of conducting the evaluation on the principals and explores the feasibility of conducting principal evaluation by means of peer evaluation.
