Reviews for Quandaries of the Small-District Superintendency

A majority of the nation's school systems serve less than 1,400 students and operate with limited human resources. Commonly, this reality has not received adequate attention in the profession's literature. For this reason, Quandaries of the Small-District Superintendency is a unique and important contribution to the knowledge base, one that examines problems of practice through the eyes of small district superintendents. - Theodore J. Kowalski, Professor and the Kuntz Family Endowed Chair, University of Dayton, USA Quandaries of the Small-District Superintendency promises to be an excellent teaching tool for those preparing for district-level (or even school-level) leadership roles. The text effectively marries the experiential realities of sitting district leaders with current national standards and expectations for effective educational leaders, and with relevant theoretical perspectives of academicians. This integration provides rich teaching and learning opportunities for those aspiring to demanding and organizationally complex educational leadership roles. - Diana Pounder, Dean of the College of Education, University of Central Arkansas, USA
