Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role, practice, and preparation of today and tomorrow′s superintendent! A strong superintendent is critical to the success of an entire school district. So why is it one of the most deregulated positions? Over the past several decades, many states have either rescinded licensing requirements for school district superintendents or abandoned regulations altogether. The Contemporary Superintendent offers a scholarly and objective analysis of the issues surrounding the state policies that appoint superintendents. Lars G. Björk and Theodore Kowalski have developed a coherent guide to critical professional aspects such as superintendent licensures, professional preparation, and staff development. Featuring the research of educational leadership specialists, this resource is not to be missed! The Contemporary Superintendent includes: Quality strategies by the field′s top scholars to implement decisive practices for superintendents Detailed analysis of the concerns over superintendent qualifications and preparations An examination of past, present, and future practices of superintendents A distinct look at the evolution of the role of the superintendent Developed over a three-year period, the authors have compiled a collection of useful, hands-on strategies for aspiring and existing superintendents, as well as ideas for adoption in the educational administration, leadership professional development, and educational policy areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this book wrote it for those aspiring to be superintendents, those new to the position and those completing their second or third year and who are looking to the future. What makes their approach unique is the belief that talented people who aspire to be superintendents are far more likely to accomplish that goal and achieve success on the job if they understand the totality of the position. School districts are complex organizations. Providing effective leadership to these organizations requires mastery of a wide array of leadership and organizational skills. Aspiring superintendents with vision and motivation who understand the inherent challenges of the position have a great advantage over those who do not. The book's goal is to provide readers with this advantage. This is why the book covers the full cycle of the first superintendent position: preparation, application and transition, the challenges of the first few years, and the decision to stay or move to another position. Aspiring and new superintendents who read the book will learn about the full range of skills and knowledge needed to succeed. They will be better prepared to be effective superintendents.

This book was released on 2010-01-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiencing the process of interviewing for a school superintendent position was challenging, to say the least. In my experience, I was appalled by the lack of professionalism and organization shown on the part of the school districts. I made notes of how I thought the interview process should be conducted and put my notes away, thinking that someday I might want to do something regarding the professional interview process. Upon retirement from serving as a public school superintendent for nearly twelve years, I referred to the notes I had made during the interview process and determined that there was a need in this professional arena. I did research and then started my own company for the purpose of doing superintendent searches with boards of education. I have completed over one hundred individual searches and feel that I have developed and perfected a process that is second to none. I have decided that I need to share the information and experiences I have gained so that others may benefi t through my process. I feel that in the very near future, many boards of education are not going to have the funds to hire a consultant to assist them in a superintendent search; therefore, I would like to make available a search process which has been very successful for the past twenty-plus years. The decision in hiring a new superintendent is the most important decision a board will ever make; therefore, the process to get to the right decision is extremely important. Many boards think it is just a simple matter and try to do it on their own without specifi c guidelines. What a mistake! This book is a step-by-step method with all materials suited to the specifi c needs of the district, whether a small, rural, large, urban, charter, or private school. Here, the author also discusses the materials as valuable and appropriate in searching for a college dean or working with a private company. This book would be extremely valuable to, and is intended for, boards of education, any corporation, or any other organization in the public or private sector seeking a process for hiring the next superintendent, university dean, or corporate CEO, and as a textbook or reference material for university graduate studies. While searching for publications of a similar nature, I have found this book to be unique and have no rival. - Xlibris Podcast Part 1: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/seeking-new-possibilities-1/ - Xlibris Podcast Part 2: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/seeking-new-possibilities-2/ - Xlibris Podcast Part 3: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/seeking-new-possibilities-3/ - Xlibris Podcast Part 4: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/seeking-new-possibilities-4/ - Xlibris Podcast Part 5: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/seeking-new-possibilities-5/

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local school boards have the responsibility to select school superintendents to lead their districts. The process by which school boards go about searching for and selecting a superintendent varies. In Missouri, school boards have the option to hire a search firm (MSBA, MASA, MSSC, etc.) or other outside assistance, or they can choose to search for and select a superintendent on their own. This study was conducted to establish how superintendent search and selection procedures were being utilized in the state of Missouri. The study also attempted to distinguish between Missouri school boards that utilize superintendent search firms or conducted a search on their own and whether the boards were satisfied with their selection. The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze current superintendent search and selection practices utilized by public school boards and their perceived effectiveness in the state of Missouri. The study examined superintendent search criteria and attempted to determine what impact school district enrollment, school district location, school district wealth, superintendent gender, superintendent turnover rate and superintendents possessing a doctorate had on the superintendent selection process. The study also attempted to show how school board members perceptions differed according to school district enrollment, school district location, school district wealth, superintendent gender, superintendent turnover rate and superintendents possessing a doctoral degree as related to superintendent search criteria. This study found that the majority of school board respondents in Missouri selected their superintendent as opposed to hiring a search firm to complete the search and selection process. An overwhelming majority of school board member respondents who conducted their own searches believed their search and selection procedures were effective. Those boards that utilized search firms were also satisfied with the results of the search/selection process. Findings also suggest the variables of school district enrollment, location, school district wealth, superintendent turnover rate, superintendent gender, and superintendents possessing a doctoral degree when coupled with de-selection criteria and knowledge and skills used in the selection process had varying degrees of impact on the superintendent search and selection process. This study may have implications for practitioners in the state of Missouri and elsewhere regarding future superintendent search and selection practices and their effectiveness.
