Are you interested in the superintendency?
Join us for a three-part seminar series preparing potential superintendent candidates for the position.
October 23, 2024, December 10, 2024 & January 30, 2025
$249 for all three sessions
The Aspiring Superintendent Seminar provides a collegial cohort opportunity for leaders who wish to become Oregon superintendents.
Learn how to apply for the many vacancies that will be available in Oregon for the 2024-25 school year and how to be prepared for the process. Hear from state and national superintendent search consultants about what school boards and districts are looking for in in a superintendent.
This seminar will show you the rewards and challenges today’s superintendents face, the politics of the position, how to work with school boards, negotiating your contract, and most importantly-- what administrator’s DON’T know about the position!
One goal of the seminar is to have potential candidates fully prepared to enter into a superintendent search process. Topics will include:
- Navigating the search process
- Tips from search firms
- FAQ
- Application materials
- Interview prep
- Enhancing school district and community relations
- Board governance and the role of the superintendent
- Understanding Oregon’s State School Fund (SSF) model
- Instructional Leadership vs. operations, finding the balance
We will provide support for the search process, including resumes and letters of interest.
