The Board-Savvy Superintendent's hard-hitting, no-nonsense, advice
on school board leadership capitalizes on Houston and Eadie's
hands-on experience working with hundreds of boards and
superintendents over the past quarter-century. It is a practical,
survive-and-thrive book that will help school district
leaders-board members, superintendents, and senior
administrators-learn to work together successfully in leading their
districts in these extraordinarily challenging times. Filled with
detailed, thoroughly tested guidance on how to acquire the skills
and knowledge that make up board savvyness, it also addresses how
to develop the school board's capacity to produce truly high-impact
governance, and how to build a strong, enduring, productive
board-superintendent working partnership. The authors take a fresh
look at the process of governing, going well beyond the
old-fashioned, control-focused "policy governance" approach. Rather
than being preoccupied with developing a static structure of
policies to distinguish the board's role from the superintendent's,
the book describes how the board and superintendent can creatively
work together in making decisions about such critical governing
"products" as values, vision, mission, and strategic change
initiatives. School district leaders will appreciate The
Board-Savvy Superintendent's close look at the "gold standard" for
board involvement in school affairs: leading strategic change. The
authors go well beyond the conventional long-range planning
approach of merely projecting everything a school district is doing
for some arbitrary period of 3 or 5 years, which has generated tons
of paper and little important change to provide the reader with
detailed, practical guidance on engaging school boards creatively
and proactively in a much more selective, vision-driven process
that actually results in the implementation of strategic change:
the Strategic Change Portfolio.
