These qualitative case studies give the prospective superintendent
a real-life look at life on the other side of the district CEO's
desk. Two dozen superintendents reflect upon their first challenges
and growth opportunities that arose during that all-important first
year. They tell it like it is, no sugar-coating. The experiences
they listed, in each of the 13 chapters, are invaluable to new or
beginning superintendents. This book is also helpful for the
superintendent mentor as they assist new superintendents in being
successful.

Many books have been written about the superintendency and all
aspects of it. Additionally, "standards for superintendents" have
been written by the American Association for School Administrators
(AASA). These eight standards deal with Leadership and District
Culture, Policy and Governance, Communications and Community
Relations, Organizational Management, Curriculum Planning and
Development, Instructional Management, Human Resource Management,
and Values and Ethics of Leadership.
States have standards that mirror these. Texas, for example, put
the standards into three domains: Leadership of the Educational
Community; Instructional Leadership; and Administrative Leadership.
Within these three domains are listed the eight competencies which
reflect AASA's eight standards. "Daily Devotions for School
Superintendents" covers many of the standards but really hones in
on Competency 1 which reads, "The superintendent knows how to act
with integrity, fairness, and in an ethical manner in order to
promote the success of all students."
Containing 366 devotionals written to challenge, encourage, and to
daily feed the superintendents as they face the many different
situations in their personal lives and in the schools under their
leadership, "Daily Devotions for School Superintendents" looks at
all areas of the superintendency and provides daily devotionals
from every book in the Bible. In addition, each daily verse is
followed with powerful reflections to clearly illustrate and drive
the principles home. All verses are taken from the King James
version of the Bible and uncover God's presence, power, and
provision for directing superintendents in their daily activities.
