    2. Agenda Welcome and Introductions Overview and Purpose of Group Charter approved by EPSB Review of Literature Discussion Work Teams based on charter objectives Discussion Topics

    3. Purpose Review the current state of superintendent preparation in Kentucky. Ensure the inclusion of high quality clinical experiences for both traditional superintendent candidates and those seeking certification through an alternative route. Align the superintendent preparation with the teacher leader master’s programs, redesigned principal programs, and the General Assembly mandated assessment center provided by the Kentucky Department of Education. Review programs that prepare supervisor of instruction and directors of pupil personnel.

    4. Scope of Operation The committee shall remain within statutory boundaries, but it may recommend regulatory, statutory, and policy changes to the EPSB. All committee members are expected to make a time commitment to the work. EPSB staff will provide support to the committee and provide the necessary resources for the committee to complete its work.

    5. Objectives Following a review of related research and current practice by institutions (both in and outside of KY) the committee shall bring forth recommendations in the following areas: Establishing a set of standards and critical performance indicators for superintendents. Determining, prior to admission to a superintendent program, that all candidates have the disposition to be leaders of a district, based on evidence of meaningful leadership experience related to improved student achievement.

    6. Objectives Selecting superintendent candidates who exhibit the critical dispositions and attributes for guiding a district in the 21st century. Providing throughout the program enhanced field experiences that permit superintendent candidates to put academic theory into meaningful practice.

    7. Objectives Providing high quality mentoring for those entering the superintendent program via an alternative route. Collaborating with the Kentucky Department of Education in aligning the superintendent programs with the assessment center.

    8. House Joint Resolution (HJR)14 Section 1: The executive direction of the EPSB, with the collaboration of the commissioner of education and the president of CPE, shall organize an interagency task force to collaborate with private and public post- secondary institutions for the redesign of programs of school and district leaders, including the preparation and certification of principals, assistant principals, superintendents, and other central office and school- based administrators.

    9. Maxwell, 1998 “Leadership is about influencing people to follow, while management focuses on maintaining systems and processes. The best way to test whether a person can lead rather than just manage is to ask him (her) to create positive change.”
