This book was released on 1994 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook presents findings of a study that examined the outcomes of the Chief Executive Officer Leadership Development Program, which was developed by the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL). The 1-year program was comprised of classroom sessions, coaching, journal writing, and learning projects. Data were derived from: (1) a pre-program survey and questionnaire of 38 participating superintendents; and (2) post-program interviews with the 38 participants and their facilitators, a post-questionnaire completed by participants, and analysis of student journals. Findings indicate that the superintendents improved their leadership competencies and self-awareness. Of the four superintendent subgroups that were identified, two--the New Perspectives subgroup and the Role Expansion subgroup--were more affected than administrators who were already highly effective or more control-oriented. The program, compared to other studies of this nature, resulted in two more prominent outcomes: the view of leadership as a shared responsibility and a broader view of their professional role. Implications of the findings for evaluation of leadership-development programs are: the use of multiple methods enriches analysis; evaluation studies should expect highly individualized outcomes; and evaluation studies provide opportunities for understanding the leadership-development process. Eleven tables and five figures are included. Appendices contain copies of the exit interviews and statistics on subgroup differences. Contains 53 references. (LMI)

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every school district needs a system of sound superintendent performance evaluation. School district superintendents are and must be accountable to their school boards, communities, faculties, and students for delivering effective educational leadership. To assure that they are evaluated fairly, competently, and functionally, superintendents need to help their school boards plan and implement evaluation systems that adhere to the evaluation standards. Superintendent Performance Evaluation outlines some of the problems and deficiencies in current evaluation practice and offers professionally-based leads for strengthening or replacing superintendent performance evaluation systems. This book focuses on the on-the-job performance of school district superintendents as they implement school board policy. The decision to focus on performance evaluation reflects the importance of this kind of evaluation in the move to raise educational standards and improve educational accountability. Boards and superintendents are advised to make superintendent performance evaluation an integral part of the district's larger system for evaluating district needs, plans, processes, and accomplishments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superintendent evaluation is a unique process that is often neglected but critical in this era of accountability. This invaluable guide provides an overview of the entire process, including: crafting board policy, criteria for good policy, and prototype policy. It identifies the unique challenges posed by the evaluation process and describes a three-tiered model of evaluation. This model is anchored in the professional standards for superintendency established by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA), the National School Boards Association (NSBA) Key Work of School Boards, the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards, and the National Technology Standards for School Administrators. Numerous sample forms are included to assist school districts in creating a customized evaluation protocol to enhance performance. Suggestions on next steps for the reader conclude the book and additional resources are described in the annotated bibliography. This handbook will be of interest to superintendents, school board members, and professionals involved in the development and support of superintendents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As local elections and other occurrences can transform a board and its direction, having a performance review cycle to ensure that all board members understand the philosophy undergirding the superintendent’s evaluation is critical to ensuring that all members of the governing board are operating within a similar framework and purpose as they approach the superintendent’s evaluation cycle. Acknowledging that superintendents have the potential to grow in their professional capacity, revisiting the philosophical underpinnings of the evaluation over time ensures that the process does not remain static. Each chapter within this text is designed to develop the basis for understanding the superintendent’s evaluation process to create opportunities for an open and continuous dialogue between superintendents and school boards. This book will support those charged with leading and governing public schools to implement effective evaluations for both school boards and superintendents that provide an objective and summative collection of the superintendent’s annual performance and his/her relative impact on targeted success within a given school year.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sought to examine the perceptions of superintendents and school board presidents related to the effectiveness of the superintendent evaluation process utilized in their school districts. In addition, this study asked superintendents and school board presidents to rank leadership functions derived from the Pennsylvania Leadership Standards in order to evaluate the degree of alignment between the two. Data for this study were collected through instruments designed by the researcher including an online survey and semi-structured interview. A total of 111 survey responses from superintendents and school board presidents in the state of Pennsylvania were analyzed in order to answer the research questions. Eight survey respondents agreed to participate in the follow-up interview. The findings of this study indicate that superintendents and school board presidents perceived the evaluation process to be effective in holding the superintendent accountable and promoting the professional growth of the superintendent. Further, superintendents and school board presidents generally perceived the superintendent evaluation process to be reflective of best practices. The findings related to the ranking of leadership functions demonstrated that superintendents and school board presidents prioritized certain leadership functions more consistently than others, especially when examined in the context of district size, which highlights the importance of collaboration and communication in implementing the superintendent evaluation process.

Download or read book The Role of Feedback Within the Superintendent Evaluation Process written by Patricia Corbett and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the leader of an educational organization, the superintendent plays a critical role in the system's success. The task of evaluating the top leader in a school district falls to the school board-a body of individuals with little to no background in education. The superintendent evaluation should provide feedback to facilitate the development of instructional leadership and promote student achievement. The purpose of this interpretative phenomenological analysis study framed in cultural-historical activity theory was to explore the experiences of eight New Hampshire school superintendents with their evaluation process as it relates to feedback that promotes instructional leadership. Participants represented a variety of educational experiences and had worked in at least two school districts. The central research question was: What are the experiences of New Hampshire school superintendents with their evaluation process and how do they make sense of these experiences as it relates to feedback that promotes instructional leadership and increases student achievement? The analysis of the data revealed four super-ordinate themes: (a) the superintendent as instructional leader, (b) the superintendent evaluation process, (c) feedback for instructional leadership, and (d) influences on the evaluation process and the growth of instructional leadership. These four themes resulted in the following findings. Reflection and internal motivation promote the growth of instructional leadership. It was found through the current research that evaluation is one event and should be a mutually agreed upon process that benefits the superintendent and the organization in order to facilitate the achievement of goals. Hence, feedback should be ongoing and enhance the important relationship between the superintendent and school board. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the superintendent's complex role and ultimate leadership responsibility for all district outcomes that suggests superintendents hold the key to successful reform. Research in the wake of the federal accountability and reform movement has focused on the principal as the mediator of school reform. Consequently, there is a dearth of research focusing on the superintendent's role in school reform, superintendent performance evaluation, and the state's responsibility to ensure a fair, equitable, and high-quality superintendent evaluation process through state-level policy. This study is a comprehensive policy analysis of state-level superintendent evaluation policies nationwide using a basic content analysis methodology and a researcher-developed content-analysis rubric. The study investigated the impact of the accountability and reform movement on superintendent performance evaluations, identified the current status of state-level superintendent evaluation policies and policy coherence with the personnel evaluation standards developed by the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation (Joint Committee), and determined whether a significant relationship exists between the breadth and depth of state-level superintendent evaluation policy and a state's political culture. Results show that 34 states have superintendent evaluation policies, but states vary substantially on the depth of superintendent evaluation policies and coherence with the Joint Committee standards. More states scored higher on the utility and feasibility standards than on the propriety and accuracy standards. There was no significant relationship, however, between a state's political culture and the breadth and depth of its superintendent evaluation policy as determine by the state's total content analysis rubric score.

Book excerpt: This Education Leadership Portfolio (ELP) examines the research linking superintendent leadership to student achievement, reviews the current superintendent evaluation practices in Delaware’s public school districts as well as other states, and proposes a more standardized superintendent evaluation process in the state of Delaware. ☐ This ELP involved conducting interviews with board members from eleven of Delaware’s nineteen public school districts to determine the current goal-setting and evaluation practices. Subsequently, interviews were held with key educational leaders from other states to gain valuable insight into their superintendent goal-setting and evaluation processes. The results of these two sets of interviews were used to create a framework and training materials for use by local school boards in the state of Delaware. The final part of this ELP was obtaining feedback from school board members who reviewed the framework and training program. Their feedback was then used to make improvements to the process. ☐ The Superintendent Goal-Setting and Evaluation Handbook and related training materials that were created during this ELP will serve as a resource to Delaware’s local school boards in their efforts to maximize student achievement through continuous monitoring of their superintendent’s leadership performance.

Download or read book The Contemporary Superintendent written by Meredith Mountford and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is (R)Evolutionary Leadership? Why Does it Matter? How can contemporary school district administrators, specifically superintendents, contend with so many difficult, and almost impossible competing commitments? Building on the definitions of revolution, revolutionary, evolution, and evolutionary, the notion of (R)Evolutionary Leadership emerged while discussing the need for school district leaders to push back against the status quo while improving teacher and leadership practices, improving student learning outcomes, engaging with the community, and ensuring decision making processes that include check and balance systems that are just, fair, and equitable for all. The chapters in this book introduce superintendents or research on superintendents in which these tenants were practiced; both in their ability to enact radical change by “overthrowing” the status quo – as well as evolutionary in their deliberate approach to viewing change as a process they can control over time. These leaders were willing to confront and defy practices and policies that were counter to student well-being and achievement while concurrently knowing how to reach their desired results. The chapters chosen for inclusion in this volume are those that offered a glimpse of these revolutionary tenants in practice. We ask that you consider this emerging concept as you explore the chapters of our book. You will find the (R)evolutionary Leaders you meet in the chapters know how to evolve, not just to stay alive, but to ensure the organization (school) remains relevant and vital to society. These leaders use their positional power, social capital, and expertise to advocate for policies and practices that are in the best interest of the school community and they innovate in ways that challenge the status quo. You will also find practices that are (R)Evolutionary and provide ways for leaders to innovate, collaborate, and simply take care of themselves and those around them. Our description does not seek to support or define or delineate the characteristics of a (R)Evolutionary Leader or how one might enact (R)Evolutionary Leadership–but serves as a way to (re)think the way we view the vastly complex work of school district administrators, specifically the superintendent. (R)Evolutionary leadership may change our ways of thinking about the significant advocacy role a superintendent can play in influencing both practice and policy to enact the change necessary to move forward issues of justice, equity, and quality in PK-12 schools and further to improve educational and social outcomes for those served.
