Developing a Theoretical Framework for Performance Management Systems in U.S. Schools Evaluating Impact and Best Practices

Authors(4) :-Onuh Matthew Ijiga, Olanrewaju Awoyemi, Fadeke Adeola Atobatele, Chioma Angela Okonkwo

This review paper explores the development of a theoretical framework for performance management systems in U.S. schools, emphasizing the evaluation of impact and identification of best practices. It begins with an introduction outlining the importance of performance management in education and the paper's purpose. The literature review covers performance management theories, the historical evolution of performance management in education, current trends and practices, and key challenges and criticisms. The proposed theoretical framework defines performance management in the educational context, details the key components of an effective system, and presents a model aligned with educational goals. Impact evaluation criteria, empirical study reviews, analysis of success factors and barriers, and case examples provide a comprehensive understanding of the systems' effectiveness. The paper concludes with best practices identified from the literature, strategic recommendations for implementation, policy implications, and future research directions to enhance performance management systems and improve educational outcomes in U.S. schools.
