“Most educational administrators were trained as managers, not for being their school's instructional leader. It's all been about the management of schools, not the leader in instruction.” Krista Parent, Superintendent of the South Lane School District, 2007 National Superintendent of the Year
“I have seen schools and districts accomplish incredible things when they are able to come together around a shared belief in what they are doing and what their students can accomplish – and behind each of these transformations is a dynamic and passionate educational leader. While we can create good systems and policies at the state level to support school turnaround efforts, true transformation is going to come at the school and district level from these local leaders who are committed to improving the opportunities and outcomes for each and every one of our students.” Deputy Superintendent Rob Saxton Oregon Department of Education
