MASA/MASB Summer Leadership Academy for aspiring superintendents kicks off April 22

 

Leadership matters, now more than ever. Are you finding and nurturing potential school leaders in your district or region? Do you know a developing administrator who has district leadership potential?

Consider sending him or her to the MASA/MASB Summer Leadership Academy. This professional development opportunity for aspiring superintendents introduces the skills and strategies needed to prepare for the challenging and rewarding responsibilities of being a superintendent.

Successful superintendents agree that their longevity in a school district isn’t only attributed to excellent leadership competencies, but also to establishing a working rapport with the school board, which enhances their ability to lead the district.

This four part academy, moderated by Dr. J. Mark Rainey, begins April 22, and promises to be a practical and realistic approach to the day-to-day duties of a superintendent taught by former superintendents and educational leaders.

Learn about strategies for building a solid relationship with the school board, focusing on mission and priorities, and gaining knowledge of the basics of school finance, school law and negotiations. MASB and MASA staff will offer guidelines on how to successfully pursue and land a superintendent position.
