ABSTRACT:
This report describes a process developed by the Center for Assessment of Administrative Performance (CAAP) in Washington State which uses
microcomputers to generate feedback reports for participants in an assessment
process which provides participants with feedback on skills and abilities
related to the successful performance of school building administrators.
Noting that the system consists of a set of six simulation exercises which
have been designed to measure 136 behavioral descriptors, the report
describes the process by which scores for all exercises are weighted and
combined to produce overall descriptor scores which, in turn, are weighted
and combined to produce scores on 12 skill and ability dimensions, i.e.,
instructional leadership and supervision, human relations competence,
judgement, organizational ability, educational values, oral communication,
written communication, problem analysis, creativity, decisiveness, group
leadership, and resourcefulness. The Microrim R:Base database used to
generate the feedback documents and the content of the documents themselves
are described. In addition, sample feedback documents are provided. (GL)
