About the Book

"I do not believe I have ever seen a guide that is so practical and current. I particularly liked the advice on communications, celebrations, board relationships, and community involvement. Those are the kinds of interpersonal gestures and activities that go beyond just following a checklist and are critical to the success of new and experienced superintendents."
—Brenda S. Dietrich, Superintendent
Auburn-Washburn School District, Topeka, KS

A practical planning tool with concrete tasks and tips for new or experienced superintendents!

Written by seven outstanding superintendents, this reflective calendar and planning journal helps superintendents address day-to-day concerns while keeping student achievement in perspective throughout the year. The authors give administrators a structured, goal-oriented look at the work ahead and highlight opportunities for organizational leadership.

Practical and hands-on, this planner takes superintendents from July through June and provides checklists, activities, and templates to foster responsibility, efficiency, and effectiveness. The authors present issues for reflection and action that include:

  • Maintaining effective communication
  • Monitoring program, curriculum, and achievement objectives
  • Building relationships within the educational community
  • Developing the budget
  • Coaching and mentoring
  • Planning ahead, establishing new goals, and facing unexpected events and challenges

The Superintendent′s Planner offers beginning and veteran district leaders a fresh perspective and invaluable support for an increasingly complex and demanding role.
