Book excerpt: As the accountability standards for schools throughout the nation become more pressing, the relationship between the school superintendent and the local school board has become even more critical to a school's success. A clearer picture of the desired competencies of school superintendents by local boards of education should assist both parties in decreasing any discrepancies in expectations. The proposed study identify the professional competencies of public school superintendents that are identified for successful employment in the state of Texas by both school board presidents and school superintendents. The population of the study consist of a stratified random sample of K-12 public school superintendents and school board presidents in Texas. The respondents rated the perceived importance of eight competencies using a five-point Likert-type scale. The surveys were then categorized based on district size, years served in the district by the superintendent, and years served on the board of education. The findings indicated that both board presidents and school superintendents perceived acting ethically and morally as the most important competency. Both respondents also indicated that knowing how to budget and allocate resources was perceived as the second most important competency. Significant differences were indicated between different size districts in the areas of instructional leadership and shaping school culture.

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.
