Rezensionen

For a new superintendent, this book is instrumental in developing foundational pillars of knowledge to allow for a successful career and avoid pitfalls others have experienced. Each chapter forced me to reflect on my current situations and practice to make modifications necessary for improving student achievement. The practical application to real-world situations from successful superintendents across the country is invaluable. -- Steve Doyle, twenty-year superintendent Linda K. Wagner's contribution to the superintendency is invaluable! As a new generation of leaders embarks on this important leadership role, there is a need to have practical knowledge and guidance in the beginning years of district leadership. Her ideas, culled from successful superintendents, will encourage and instill confidence as new leaders emerge in districts across the country. -- Gwen Gross, fifteen-year superintendent and author of three leadership books for educators Linda K. Wagner's book is an excellent source for the new administrator anticipating her first staff meeting or for a seasoned superintendent looking for ways to make things better in the boardroom. Filled with practical applications and spot-on advice from those who have lived it, this book provides a wealth of support to anyone smart enough to read it. Easy-to-read and eminently useful, it belongs on every administrator's desk. -- Ken Noonan, past member and past president, California State Board of Education, and thirty-year superintendent, Superintendent Emeritus, Oceanside, California and former President, State Board of Education For school district superintendents, Wagner, who has been a teacher, administrator, and superintendent, culls interviews with about 50 current and former successful superintendents, including American Association of School Administrators Superintendents of the Year and finalists (as well as consultants and county office administrators), to describe the behaviors, attitudes, and attributes of effective instructional leaders. She addresses the first year of the position, communication and leadership characteristics that build trust, the governance team, personnel issues, assessment and accountability, and equity.
