Excerpt from A Model Superintendent: A Sketch of the Life, Character, and Methods of Work of Henry P. Haven of the International Lesson Committee No exhibit of a right spirit and of wise methods in any sphere of human activity is so effective as when shown in a life that has been actually lived. There is a temptation to question whether any ideal of a symmetrical character is practically attainable. It is useless to deny that what a man has been and has done is a possibility, in spite of all obstacles. Therefore it is that the best working model for Sunday-school superintendents is - a model superintendent. The subject of this sketch furnishes such a model; not a faultless pattern for exact reproduction, but an illustrative model to work by and to improve on. Mr. Haven might have been presented as a model man of business, as a model citizen, as a model Christian steward; for his course in each of those spheres was worthy of imitation. But his pre-eminent success was as a Sunday-school superintendent; therefore about that department of his varied activities the facts of this story of his life are clustered.

Hord); (2) "Through the Looking Glass" (Thomas E. Glass); (3) "Point and Counterpoint: What Is In the Context of What Might Be?" (Thomas E.

"John Hoyle and his co-authors have done the impossible-they have produced a textbook on the superintendency that is both research based and readable. They have also bridged the gap between the world of those who believe everything is measurable and those who see leadership as spiritual and learning as a work in progress. This is a major addition to the field of educating school system leaders." Paul Houston, Executive Director American Association of School Administrators Paul Houston, Executive DirectorAmerican Association of School Administrators "Professors, workshop facilitators, school administration students, and superintendents will find the content and authors′ insights to be highly relevant and enlightening." Theodore J. Kowalski, Kuntz Family Chair in Educational Administration University of Dayton Theodore J. Kowalski, Kuntz Family Chair in Educational AdministrationUniversity of Dayton "This book represents an important contemporary effort to provide direction to the construction of a text-anchored curriculum for the preparation of superintendents." Michelle Young, Executive Director University Council for Educational Administration Michelle Young, Executive DirectorUniversity Council for Educational Administration Transform the role of superintendent into the district′s Chief Executive Officer! 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.

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.

Bridge the great divide between distanced administrative duties and daily classroom impact. This book introduces a top-down power mechanism called defined autonomy, a concept that focuses on district-defined, nonnegotiable, common goals and a system of accountability supported by assessment tools. Defined autonomy creates an effective balance of centralized direction and individualized empowerment that allows building-level staff the stylistic freedom to respond quickly and effectively to student failure.
