Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the United States and globally, school districts are regularly facing a shortage of both willing and highly qualified candidates to assume positions as school leaders. A number of factors have contributed to this shortage including but not limited to: (1) retiring baby boomers leaving P-12 schools (ex. Aaronson & Meckel, 2009; Carlson, 2004; Parylo & Zepeda, 2015; Wiedmer, 2015), (2) shifting demographics and population changes across the United States workforce and schools (ex. Betts, Urias, & Betts, 2009; Brimley, Garfield, & Verstegen, 2005; Brown, 2016; Miller & Martin, 2015; Mordechay & Orfield, 2017), (3) increasing demands for school administrators making the position less desirable (ex. Grissom, Loeb, & Mitani, 2015; Lortie, 2009; Norton, 2002; Yan, 2019), and (4) the shift of schools to 21st Century Learning centers, which have changed the role of school administrators (ex. Crow, Hausman, & Scribner, 2002; Huber, 2014). According to the National Bureau of Labor Statistics, the current demand for school principals continues to increase (Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2019) and will accelerate in the coming 10-20 years. Because of the high need for school administrators, many schools and school districts are creating unique, targeted, and innovative programs to find principals who can meet the changing needs in our school system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Succession planning is a concept not well known nor used in education. Businesses, non-profit entities, medical organizations, and the military have used many of the concepts for decades with varying degrees of success. A framework and practical guidelines are provided for anyone with hiring authority or interest in leadership development in educational organizations. The identification of future talent, the targeted and specific development and mentoring, and the retention of the most promising employees comprise the three major components to a quality plan. Most importantly, the unique organizational culture must be considered across every phase. A lack of planning can be costly and detrimental to performance, which in an educational setting equates to lower student achievement. A quality succession plan can be used to foster engagement from all levels of stakeholders and ensure qualified individuals are prepared to assume positions of greater authority at every level of the organization. There is no universal answer, no “one-size-fits-all” approach; however, with strategic initiatives and the proper support from senior leaders, a leadership pipeline can be established in any educational organization, not just for the present, but for future needs.

Book excerpt: The intent of this study was to discover the methods utilized in planning for leadership succession within the school districts in the Warren-Saratoga-Washington-Hamilton-Essex (WSWHE) BOCES geographic region. The research informed us that 65% of boards of educations believe the current superintendent will be leaving their respective districts within the next four years. Fourty-five percent of superintendent's report that they will leave their current position within the same five years. A survey instrument was developed and sent to the school superintendents and board presidents in each of the 31 schools in the WSWHE BOCES region of New York State. The purpose of the survey was to determine if schools utilized succession planning or are they currently grooming prospective superintendent candidates. Based on the survey information interviews were conducted with superintendents and school board presidents who identified a form of succession planning or grooming process. Research revealed that none of the school districts had a written formalized succession plan approved by the board of education to replace the superintendent. However, three school districts engaged in an informal succession planning process and replaced the outgoing superintendent with an internal candidate who went through an extensive mentoring program.

Book excerpt: The role of the school principal is vital to a school’s overall success, and the need to appoint and support excellent educational leaders is critical. School districts continually face principal succession, and the replacement of a principal relies on a selection and recruitment process in identifying a candidate who reflects the best fit, at the right time, for the school. This research investigated the experiences associated with the decision-making process by superintendents when looking to fill a principal vacancy and the experiences of newly appointed or reassigned principals who completed their first year. The intent was to identify common factors associated with the first year experience and structures in place to support principals during their transition. This qualitative study’s primary data collection was through in-depth interviews with participants. The research sample included a total of three superintendents, three Assistant Superintendents of Human Resources, and nine newly appointed or reassigned principals in urban, or suburban, Southern California public schools. This study intended to further our understanding of the experiences of newly appointed or reassigned principals during their transition year. Future research in this area might encourage superintendents to approach principal succession planning from a formative perspective inclusive of discussions about replacement plans during performance evaluations. A principal succession plan focused on the transition in leadership, and inclusive of both the predecessor and successor intentional interactions, creates the opportunity to engage in reflective dialogue that may have a positive impact on a school and increase the likelihood of successor success.

Book excerpt: Contributors to this volume examine structures and processes that school boards have in place directly relating to the process of principal or vice-principal succession. As well, they consider the effect that these structures and processes have upon staff and administrators themselves.

This volume presents an overview of the process of principal or vice-principal succession, descriptions of school district practices surrounding this process and discussions regarding how succession procedures affect individuals and groups of individuals. This volume also highlights those board policies that incorporate practices used to develop models that support and allow administrators to succeed. It articulates how school leaders and staff members deal with change and improvement efforts in successive schools, as well as how board policies and practices support principals and vice-principals at any stage in the succession process. This volume is useful as a reference guide relating to transfer and rotation procedures in school systems across the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School districts need to begin thinking about succession planning due to the shortage of superintendent candidates and the limited number of indivduals choosing to enter the field of administration. Some of the major obstacles facing those interested in succession planning are defining what it is, what the process should entail and who should oversee the initiative. This study will address the issues a school district will face as it begins planning for superintendent succession. These include issues such as: school board politics, community involvement, personalities of applicants, school culture and student achievement. All of these factors need to be considered for a board of education and a community to match their needs with strengths of each superintendent candidate. Through the use of a grounded theory approach and a qualitative study, leaders from around New York were interviewed to determine a definition and understanding of succession planning. They study was centered on three essential questions: (A) How important is succession planning by a school district to replace its superintendent? (B) What are the steps that should be taken in order to plan and prepare for leadership succession? (C) What factors inhibit school districts from adequately planning for superintendent succession? Recommendations include succession planning as a process of preparing an organization and not just an individual. It should be completed so that student achievement increases and individuals are properly trained. Finally, succession planning should take place so that the largest possible pool of candidates can participate and have the opportunity to become superintendent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide presents a unique look at leadership succession issues in the public school sector, particularly the shortage of quality principals. It provides a stimulus for conversation for senior leadership in school systems, an outline for those educators interested in preparing their own leadership succession plan, and an actual leadership succession plan for an example school system. The guide consists of three sections. The first is titled "Catalyst for Conversation," and its purpose is to stimulate conversations about leadership succession in school systems. The second section is titled "Outline for Planning." It is intended to take school system leaders beyond the conversation in a concrete manner as they develop their own succession plans. The third section is titled "Succession Plan for Example School System," and it offers an example of what a succession plan could be. Although the example addresses each aspect of the outline, the guide does not suggest that a system would necessarily approach succession planning in that manner. The school system narrative offers an example, not a model; it is an explanation of possible succession actions according to the outline. Appended are: (1) Leadership Culture Survey; (2) Self-Assessment for School Leadership Candidates; (3) Observer Assessment for School Leadership Candidates; (4) Collaborative Assessment of Management Development Needs; (5) Leadership Development Data Tracking System Individual Data Tracking Form; (6) Leadership Interest Form; (7) Acknowledgement of Transfer to New Position; and (8) Leadership Satisfaction/Needs Assessment Instrument. (Contains a bibliography.) [Patricia Jones was a contributing author and editor for this document.].

The authors set out a compelling and original framework of seven principles for sustainable leadership characterized by Depth of learning and real achievement rather than superficially tested performance; Length of impact over the long haul, beyond individual leaders, through effectively managed succession; Breadth of influence, where leadership becomes a distributed responsibility; Justice in ensuring that leadership actions do no harm to and actively benefit students in other schools; Diversity that replaces standardization and alignment with diversity and cohesion; Resourcefulness that conserves and renews leaders' energy and doesn't burn them out; and Conservation that builds on the best of the past to create an even better future. This book is a volume in the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education—a series designed to meet the demand for new ideas and insights about leadership in schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine the meaning of the term "well-qualified" as it applied to candidates for vacant principal positions, an interview survey protocol was administered to six selected school districts: two small, two medium and two large. Responses were compared to the 10 Florida Leadership Standards. The meaning of "well-qualified" varied from district to district; they desire principals whose qualifications exceed the 10 Florida Principal Leadership Standards. A well-designed succession plan may assist school districts in recruiting, hiring, and training well-qualified principals. Eighteen (18) research based succession plan components were recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What influences individuals in pursuing leadership positions in a Catholic school? The particular needs and perceptions of teachers and administrators regarding current and future leadership development practices were gathered to address the question. Of particular interest were the deterrents and barriers that are keeping potential candidates from aspiring to leadership positions in this particular school board.Interviews, focus groups, and a survey were tools used to discover the perceptions of academic staff including senior administrators, principals, consultants/co-ordinators, and elementary and secondary teachers. Most prominently, it was felt that the expectations of the role needed to be more realistic and there needed to be significant leadership training to develop skills necessary to understand and manage the job. Exploring different leadership models including the concept of distributed leadership and the concept of servant leadership were recommended as next steps. When developing policies and strategies to encourage more people to apply for the principalship, a focus on internal rewards more than external rewards was also recommended
