COSA Office, Salem

The Aspiring Superintendent Seminar provides a rich, 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 2019-2020 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 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 administrators DON’T know about the position! 

One goal of the seminar will be to have potential candidates fully prepared to enter into a superintendent search process. 

Topics covered during the seminar will include:

• Navigating the Superintendent search process
• Search firm tips
• Frequently asked questions
• Needed application materials
• Preparing for an interview
• Developing a district vision and focus
• 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
