This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing number of traditional school boards and city mayors are looking for the next generation of school superintendents to come prepared with a variety of professional backgrounds to provide instructional leadership for school districts. The primary purpose of this qualitative study was to examine and describe the experiences, of five urban non-traditional superintendents. Associated research methods, namely interviews with study participants and the identification of major themes emerging from the data, were employed. Six emergent themes were revealed, including change agent, accountability, political connection/clout, school reform, student achievement and excellent leadership. Profiles of the participants were offered to provide a context for the results of this study. In relation to the major themes, these participants believed that their backgrounds in corporate worlds and other professions uniquely prepared them for the increased challenges of today's school superintendency. They all indicated that they assumed the helms in their respective school systems for altruistic reasons. However, once on the job, the participants noted that they suffered personally and professionally. They found themselves victims of little respect from the community, media and from their own governing bodies. In terms of preparation for the job, the non-traditional superintendents practiced self-study through reading leadership and journal articles and by attending conferences. The participants also experienced different challenges in gaining certification for the superintendency due to disparate state regulations governing licensure. Several recommendations resulted from the findings of this study. Since academic performance is the primary indicator of success or failure in education today, future researchers in this area might consider a quantitative analysis of student achievement in districts led by non-traditional superintendents compared to academic performance in those systems led by their traditional counterparts. In addition, it is suggested that these participants' views on superintendent preparation and certification and on governance issues may be considered by school districts, state and federal agencies and by universities as they develop future policy and programs. Other recommendations addressed the need to study female non-traditional superintendent governance and non-traditional leaders in smaller school districts as it relates to these issues.

Book excerpt: This frank and courageous book explores the persistence of failure in today's urban schools. At its heart is the argument that most education policy discussions are disconnected from the daily realities of urban schools, especially those in poor and beleaguered neighborhoods. Charles M. Payne argues that we have failed to account fully for the weakness of the social infrastructure and the often dysfunctional organizational environments of urban schools and school systems. The result is that liberals and conservatives alike have spent a great deal of time pursuing questions of limited practical value in the effort to improve city schools. Payne carefully delineates these stubborn and intertwined sources of failure in urban school reform efforts of the past two decades. Yet while his book is unsparing in its exploration of the troubled recent history of urban school reform, Payne also describes himself as "guardedly optimistic." He describes how, in the last decade, we have developed real insights into the roots of school failure, and into how some individual schools manage to improve. He also examines recent progress in understanding how particular urban districts have established successful reforms on a larger scale. Drawing on a striking array of sources--from the recent history of various urban school systems, to the growing sophistication of education research, to his own experience as a teacher, scholar, and participant in reform efforts--Payne paints a vivid and unmistakably realistic portrait of urban schools and reforms of the past few decades. So Much Reform, So Little Change will be required reading for everyone interested in the plight--and the future--of urban schools.

This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing discontent with the performance of educational institutions is common in the USA today and little is being done to address the real problem - that of the need to reform and restructure the entire educational system. A key issue in this reform is the training and development of leaders in educational administration; as experienced "leaders" retire, so new professionals are called to assume the mantle of the "old hands" and vital new opportunities exist for those willing to take up the challenge.; This vitally practical text is about the selection, preparation and professional development of aspiring school leaders over the course of their careers, concentrating on ways to increase their overall effectiveness - particularly in changing times. It looks at changes that have been made and considers what can be adapted from existing systems in order to make radical improvements for those in leadership positions.; It is intended for use by postgraduate students in education, teacher trainings, heads of education faculties and teachers in leadership positions, school board members and aspirant superintendents.

Download or read book Examining the Role of School Superintendents in Creating Sustainable Change Through Principal Leadership written by Michele L. Whitley and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational policy in the United States in the past decade has focused on eliminating the achievement gap by establishing legislation orienting educators toward research-based evidence and increased accountability at all levels of the system (Daly, Liou et al., 2014). Educational leaders play an important role in initiating and maintaining change, and leadership practice is imperative for educational reform (Weinbaum et al., 2012). The interconnection between the success and failure of reform initiatives in schools have rested in part on the fabric and dynamics of social relations (Daly, 2010). The purpose of this grounded theory, qualitative study is to examine how the understanding and use of social network theory is applied by superintendents as they build the capacity of principals so that change occurs and can be sustained to improve student outcomes. Daly's (2010) social network theory is the conceptual frame for this investigation. Key findings showed that all the participating superintendents deemed it necessary to be able to communicate, create vision, and serve as a model for leadership to build capacity of building principals to reach district goals. Superintendents also considered professional development, network ties, and information flow necessary to support principals' attainment of district goals with their staff. Lastly, superintendents believed that social networks and social capital within the organizational culture are necessary to sustain change. Several conclusions were identified from the findings. Superintendents believed it was necessary to build leadership capacity of principals through articulating vision and goals, long- term planning and empowering principals to lead initiatives. Superintendents modeled leadership and considered network ties when building social capital and accessing resources. Superintendents created structures for external and internal communication for information flow but did not explicitly reference the development of social networks. The development of social capital is necessary to sustain the attainment of district goals. Research regarding educational leadership and change is enhanced by this study as it provides ideas for leaders working with teams on how to apply social networks to create and sustain change in an organization. The focus on the relationship between central office and building principals to examine how the system interacts to achieve sustainable change through coordinated efforts is understudied and this research attempts to provoke thinking centered on systemic change efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[The American School SuperintAndent] is well-written. It includes the case studies and voices of those who know the job best. It provides a powerful treatise on the challenge of the job. But best of all, it gives one a sense of hope. Yes, those who stop reading partway through will wonder why anyone would want this job. But those who stay with the authors to the And will see that there are solutions to the problems and answers to the questions. Savvy leaders who can master the skills and attitudes necessary to navigate the perilous role of the superintAndency will be rewarded by success in fulfilling the most difficult—and potentially one of the most rewarding—jobs in American public life today."—From the foreword by Paul D. Houston. This in-depth look at the ever-mounting pressures on the American school superintAndent draws on interviews from across the country. The authors propose changes in the way the role of superintAndent is conceived and map out promising strategies for easing the burdens of the job. They also offer invaluable guidance from practitioners on working with boards, defusing crises, building community coalitions, and fostering school improvement and technological innovation to meet the needs of the future.
