Dr. Culp has done an excellent job in perceiving the multi-faceted role of the Superintendent and providing supports for the both in-service and aspiring Superintendents. This book, Key Knowledgefor Success: Solutions to Augment, Fortify,andSupport Today's Superintendents, is a must read for anyone assuming the role of Superintendent. The solutions are practical, clearly stated, and spiritually grounded. It is an easy read that enables an in-service Superintendent to access refreshing and functional solutions for fostering success. For the aspiring Superintendent, the solutions are enlightening, suggesting what one can expect from such an awesome job. It should be considered as one of the primary texts used in the preparation of Superintendents.
I found this book to be a very special guide for practicing and future Superintendent Candidates. It gives a step by step approach to areas that affect the office of Superintendent. Breaking down the book into the areas of concern was very key for me as you looked at In District concerns, the Superintendent as a professional and local leader. The book can be easily used as a teaching tool to instruct up and coming leaders. No aspect of the tireless work of the office of Superintendent was left out. Great book!
Leadership is paramount to improved student achievement. This handy reference offers multiple lenses through which to view techniques that empower superintendents to envision the board's goals as well as to guide principals in fulfilling expectations regarding school settings. It will also assist with the communicative power needed to ensure that everyone involved in a district remains focused on the goals of influencing, informing, and motivating to action, or defusing controversy.
Dr. Culp has efficiently prioritized and focused on the superintendent's ability to share knowledge effectively, even amid time constraints, as the big picture of improved achievementunfolds. Supporting strategies sustain the development of a school-focused action plan. Truly a resource that should be on every superintendent's bookshelf.
As I work to train school leaders to become superintendents, quality knowledge is required. Key Knowledge for Superintendents gives valued information to help the new superintendent make the right decisions. Key Knowledge for Superintendents provides a road map to new and experienced school leaders who are trying to prevent making disabling mistakes. The superintendent needs to know how to lead in the development of a strategic plan for school improvement. This plan will provide the direction for staff, students, and the community. Being the superintendent is a difficult job and without a support system to aid during those challenging times the superintendent will struggle. Dr. Culp's work provides the support needed for a successful tenure for the superintendent and the school district.
