Pages : 276
Book Description
The purpose of the study was to determine and appraise the nature and character of superintendents' perceptions toward implementation of service-learning in Iowa public schools. Specifically, it explored the perceptions of superintendents about the application of service-learning, what factors these administrators perceive as important for successful program integration, and the value of service-learning for future planning. Survey research was the methodology utilized in this study. The researcher used quantitative and qualitative methods to collect data for this study: a survey instrument and personal interviews. The random sample selected for this study consisted of 100 Iowa public school superintendents. Superintendents from 90 school districts responded to the survey. Three instruments were unidentifiable, leaving 87 surveys for use in the data analysis. Respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement on statements regarding the implementation of service-learning. The respondents' responses were computed using means, frequencies, and percentages. A MANOVA was performed to determine and examine differences in the superintendents' perceptions.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to examine which job-related activities are most or least stressful. The perceptions are those of current public school superintendents in the state of Missouri for the 2007-2008 school year. The study also explored: (a) superintendents perceptions of overall stress and overall job satisfaction and (b) if stress or job satisfaction is associated with changing employment or early retirement. Superintendents in 175 of the 524 Missouri public school districts completed a web-based survey. The superintendents answered a 31 question survey instrument about their perceptions concerning the amount of stress associated with various tasks and duties of the superintenedency. The major findings of the study were: (a) respondents rated as their most stressful job related activity "federal and state mandates". Also rating as moderately stressful activities were "frustration of under-funded mandates," "political nature of the job," "public pressure/accountability," "lack of financial resources," "dealing with school finances/budget," and "too many insignificant demands". Superintendents agreed that their jobs are moderately stressful but also rated their job satisfaction as being in the "high" category. They also had "high" agreement to the statement that if they were given the chance to do it all over again, they would again choose a career as superintendent.

An Analysis of Perceptions Toward Governance and Working Relationships Among Iowa School Board Members, Single-district Superintendents, and Shared-district Superintendents

Pages : 254
Book Description
Conflict between superintendents and school boards existed in the early 1800s and continues to exist today. This adversarial conflict in the working relationship results when one of the parties exceeds the other's subjective boundary as it pertains to involvement in the governance process and working relationship. The study examined six hypotheses regarding the perceived degree of involvement of Iowa single superintendents, shared superintendents, and those superintendents' school board members. The study was designed to determine whether or not school board members perceived their superintendent differently if the superintendent was a shared superintendent rather than a single superintendent. The study also revealed if the shared superintendent perceived their role differently than that of a single superintendent. School board members and superintendents were selected from the K-12 public school districts in the State of Iowa. District superintendents and their school board members participated in the quantitative study. The sample totaled 68 superintendents and 362 board members. There was a 69% return rate for superintendents and 42% for school board members. Of the six hypotheses, only one was upheld. This study backs up the related literature in revealing that the working relationship that a school board and its superintendent create and foster is equally as important as the day-to-day governance tasks that are outlined in college textbooks. This study affects how districts can and should make the decision about sharing superintendents. It is essential that school boards weigh all of the factors-both financial and political-in how sharing a superintendent can affect the district. Regardless of whether a superintendent is shared with two or more districts or serves in a single district, it is important that those who prepare future superintendents look at the programs to determine if enough time is spent on helping administrators to develop the relationship building skills as outlined in this study. The key stakeholders in education need to redefine the training that all superintendents and their board members need in order to be the visionaries that school systems have come to expect.
