The goal of this program is to ensure that every candidate acquires the skills and knowledge necessary to become a highly successful superintendent of schools.

While the content of each course will vary, the following themes will run throughout the program:

Legal and Policy considerations
Effective internal and external communication
Equity, Diversity, Social Justice
Political and symbolic frames of reference
Moral and Ethical Issues

All courses in the program utilize, in part, a case study approach to learning. Case studies allow candidates to put themselves into the role, at a safe distance, of a superintendent of schools, and to apply the principles of leadership to practical situations. Cases are used to illustrate key concepts in the course but do not always reflect effective leadership practices.
