Odden, Allan

Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n5 p361-66 Jan 2000

PRAXIS and other performance assessment tools are described, along with sample assessment and salary schedule combinations. Effective principal leadership and yearly bonuses between $1,500 and $3,000 ensure sufficient motivation. (Contains 25 references.) (MLH)
