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.

This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was the examination of board president superintendent relations in the State of New Jersey. The focus of the research was to determine if significant differences existed between board president's expectations of their superintendents job performance at the time of candidacy and their perceptions of their job performance at the time of contract renewal. More specifically, the study focused on identifying key factors which positively or negatively influenced the relationship between board president's expectations at candidacy and their perceptions at contract renewal. Through the research conducted on these factors, the study sought to identify and develop decision making processes to improve the success rate of superintendent contract renewal. The population sample drew from school board presidents of those boards of education whose school districts completed(between 1999-2001)decisions on the contract renewal of their superintendents. The population also drew from board presidents of boards of education whose districts have experienced a superintendent change before the end of the three year cycle.

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.

Executive CEOs need the management and executive skills to meet complex issues of budgets, personnel, information technologies, product accountability, and competition. Superintendents require many of the same skills to effectively manage their districts. The Superintendent as CEO identifies the knowledge and skill base needed by current and aspiring school district administrators to become high-performing CEOs of their districts and schools. The authors blend selected elements of the ISLLC and NCATE standards into the benchmark AASA Professional Standards for the Superintendency to outline the multiple ways of knowing and acting in the complex role of the CEO superintendent. This scholarly and friendly research- and field-based curricula for district CEOs, workshop planners, and doctoral preparation programs thoroughly examines: District vision and school culture Politics and school governance Internal and external communication Organizing for high performance Curriculum design and delivery Human resource management for student learning Intended for both practicing and aspiring superintendents, this book will provide the foundation for developing and cultivating the CEO leadership, values, and skills that superintendents will find helpful in moving from simply knowing to becoming the CEO.

Download or read book New York State Superintendent Job Satisfaction in an Era of Reduced Resources and Increased Accountability written by John J. Bell and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate New York State school superintendent job satisfaction and the potential contributing factors to their job satisfaction in an era of reduced resources and increased accountability. This survey was sent to 684 superintendents throughout New York State and completed by 280 superintendents. Sharp, Malone and Walter (2002) created a 49-item survey entitled the Positive Aspects and Motivation Survey and used it in a three-state study (Indiana, Illinois and Texas) that found increasing job satisfaction. Padalino (2009) used the same instrument and found increasing superintendent job satisfaction in New York State. The Padalino (2009) study, with a 75% superintendent job satisfaction rating, served as the baseline for this study. In this study, superintendent job satisfaction was only measured at 60%. This is a 15% decrease in 6 years. This study used the 49-item survey and added five new questions related to current issues confronting New York State superintendents. These questions asked superintendents their feelings toward: working with the Board of Education, the property tax levy cap, the Gap Elimination Adjustment, the rollout of the Common Core standards, and the new Annual Professional Performance Review. Working with the Board of Education was strongly positive while the other four were viewed as strongly negative. However, only working with the Board of Education had a significant correlation to superintendent job satisfaction. Approximately 81% of respondents had positive feelings about working with the Board of Education. Almost exactly the same 81% of respondents said yes they would aspire to the superintendency if starting their careers over. Thus, superintendent-Board of ii Education relations were far more important to superintendent job satisfaction than any external factors measured in this study.

Download or read book Achieving Success for New and Aspiring Superintendents written by Mary Frances Callan and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 329 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, validated survey instrument, SPEAR (Superintendents' Professional Expectations and Advancement Review), asked top executives about their opinions, skills, perceptions on a range of career concerns, and future interests. Of the nation's 13,500 school superintendents, a random sample of 2,979 was selected, segmented by district size. The overall finding is that superintendents are proud and satisfied with their own accomplishments, but greatly concerned about the prospect of finding talented leaders to take their places. Some of the questions explored in the survey include the following: Is there a crisis in attracting educators into the profession? How satisfied are superintendents with their careers? How mobile are superintendents? What are their professional concerns? What personal concerns and motives do they express? and What skills do they bring to the job? The report provides a brief description of its findings and recommendations as well. The appendix contains the SPEAR questionnaire. (Contains 21 references.) (DFR)
