Leadership Practices of Selected Texas Public School Superintendents Pursuing Their District's Vision and Mission in an Environment of High Stakes Testing
Author: Cade Smith
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Educational leadership
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Since the early 1980s, the push for school and district accountability has been the driving force behind the increase in standardized testing in Texas public schools. Accountability is now conjoined with test results, often pitting the evaluation of a school district against its own vision, mission, and goals. The results of these high stakes tests can have significant consequences for students, families, teachers, administrators, and the community. Leadership plays a vital role in managing the demands of the state's reliance on high-stakes testing for accountability while pursuing the district's mission and vision of the community the leader serves. At the helm of school leadership is the superintendent of schools whose job has become increasingly complex, in an environment that has become more convoluted and antagonistic. This qualitative research study explores the leadership practices that Texas public-school superintendents perceive they utilize to influence their organization's culture toward the attainment of their district's mission and vision in an educational environment defined by high-stakes testing.

Pages : 281
Book Description
"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.

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.
