Parkrose Adaptation of Oregon School Boards Association Board Self Evaluation 2021-2022
**********Deadline February 9th, 2022 by 8am to be discussed at February work session**************
WHY EVALUATE?
The culture of an organization is set at the top, and it is no different for school and educational organizations. School boards must be strong, effective leaders to meet the challenges faced by public education today. School board members direct the affairs of the district by setting goals, developing policy, communicating and evaluating, all with a focus on the achievement and best interests of all students in the district. Self-assessment by the board provides valuable information, discussion and communication.
Board self-evaluation provides more than just accountability and communication. It provides an opportunity for building the best possible leadership for the school system and community. Commitment to quality, excellence, continuous learning and local control of the educational system is demonstrated when boards lead by example.
Oregon School Boards Association’s Board Self-Evaluation document is designed to provide both a clear objective system for board evaluation and flexibility. Part 1 of the evaluation follows a set of performance standards focused on the roles, responsibilities and work of the board.
Part 2 is an opportunity to reflect on Parkrose Norms and Practices. Part 3 includes a few new questions.
