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 2023-2024 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 is 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
• 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.
