Learn to Lead on the Job – Before You’re in the Hot Seat
Description:
Being a superintendent is more complex and challenging than ever before. Yet most preparation programs do little to ready superintendents for the reality of the job before they’re in the seat. Learn how sitting superintendents can partner with training programs to prepare the next generation by giving members of their cabinet hands-on, job-embedded learning opportunities – and pulling back the curtain on what the job is really like so aspiring superintendents can practice the skills they’ll need to thrive.
