To improve principal evaluation systems, state and district leaders must make decisions about commercially available resources that may be useful. This overview aims to assist state and district leaders in the decision-making process.

Information in this overview can be used to support states and districts in identifying some of the resources to be considered in taking appropriate next steps to evaluate school leaders, design an evaluation method, and/or buy a program or service.

These resources were recommended either by district practitioners using them or were noted by experts in the field, in topic-related reports, as being used by districts.
