Being Top Dog

In many cases, school boards seem to be quite distant in relation to school classrooms. However, as you have already read, they can retain significant influence on student learning if they focus on the right things! One of the key personnel decisions that school boards make is selecting the superintendent for their school district; the key leader in creating change in their schools. Although elected locally, school board members seldom possess significant knowledge in what constitutes effective schools and school improvement. Locally elected school board officials undertake an enormous responsibility to influence school leadership and improvement when they select the leader of their school district—the superintendent.

The superintendent is the lead position of employment within a school district. As such, this person often acts as both a buffer and a conduit between the school board, the principals, the staff, and the teachers in the schools. The role of the superintendent is significant in a school district’s success or failure, primarily due to the leadership skills that this person possesses and their ability to motivate and create positive change. Even though this person is the one who “steers the ship”, and the person who can make or break a school district, superintendents are not directly mentioned in Edmond’s (1982) work. However, one may look to them for guidance through Edmond’s comments on that of instructional leadership.

You have read two articles about school superintendents, Effective Superintendents, Effective School Boards: Finding the Right Fit (Education Writers Association , 2003) and What Makes a Great Superintendent? (Great Schools, 2015) The first of these articles is focused on the importance of “fit” between the school board and the superintendent. The second article is focused on what it takes to be a “great superintendent”.

As you read these two articles, what did you discover? In a reflective post of about four to five paragraphs, address the following:

• What are the challenges that superintendents face in their jobs and what motivational and leadership skills do they need to possess, in order to make them effective leaders?
• In what ways, if any, do superintendents have an impact on school improvement?
• Think about your current superintendent, or if you are not currently working in schools, think of a superintendent that you have worked with in the past.

Compare your current or former superintendent to the the characteristics described in our readings. Explain which characteristics are exhibited and which could be enhanced.

Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.

RESEARCH PAPER GUIDELINES

One research paper is required for this course. The Research Paper is worth a total of 30% of your grade and is due on the assigned date found on your syllabus!

you can write the paper( for instance) on a person ( Napoleon ) , event( Armenian Genocide )or set of people, , ( The Ottomans) no broad topic like the First World War . or Second World War ….

The research paper is of your choice as long as it covers the period that is being cover in the course. The paper will be ten pages in length, double spaced, using 12 point font, submitted online. This should be similar to any paper you would write for other classes – including a title page, an introduction, body of text, a conclusion, and references/bibliography. APA or MLA format is acceptable.

Proper Citation of Sources.

When writing papers which use information from researched sources, it is necessary to provide complete and correct documentation to show the source of all words and ideas which are not those of the student. Failure to cite a source implies that the information used is the original work of the paper writer – a form of stealing known as “plagiarism.” In the college class, plagiarism is grounds for failure, no matter how well written the rest of the paper may be.

Do not use first person or contractions when writing. Also, remember that a successful term paper is not one that is written at the last moment, rather it is one that has been thought out, written, edited, and edited some more (you may consider turning in a rough draft or talking with me prior to the due date if you are unsure about how to approach writing the paper). Make sure you proofread! Nothing detracts from a paper (or grade) worse than a poorly written, mistake-filled paper.

When writing this research paper, you should attempt to address the following questions: Comprehensive introduction ( includes who, what, where , and when) with clear thesis statement that answers the question.

• Why is this person or event important in Modern World History?

• Does this individual or event represent an aspect that helped shape Modern World History?

• Would Modern World History be different if not for the actions of this person or the occurrence of the events? (ensure you have a solid conclusion)

Students should not use the encyclopedia or the course text book as the primary source of research. Also keep in mind when writing the research paper ,You should not rely solely on the internet for information either; students may use certain web page links such as, The History Channel or Historynet.com to reinforce the research paper.

The Key to School Leadership: The Principal

Researchers continue to conduct studies to identify the key characteristics found in the principals who are leaders of successful schools. For example, in our first article, The School Principal as Leader: Guiding Schools to Better Teaching and Learning (The Wallace Foundation, 2013), the authors discuss the importance of vision, creating a hospitable climate, cultivating leadership, improving instruction, and managing people. Meador’s (2013) article identifies leadership, people skills, balancing “tough love” and earned praise, being fair and consistent, being well organized and well prepared, possessing excellent listening skills, and retaining a sense of vision.

As you can see, the two authors seem to have identified some similar and somewhat different characteristics in determining what makes a principal successful. In addition, after you have watched the brief videos from Great School Leadership in Action (The Wallace Foundation, 2013) , you may have more ideas on what it takes to be an effective leader.

List your six selected characteristics and in two to three paragraphs, address the following:

• From the characteristics identified in the articles and from the video, select the six you believe are the most important. Explain why you selected them?
• Which of these would have the greatest effect on school improvement?
• Think back to our discussion in Week 1. How do the six characteristics you selected align with Ron Edmond’s work on Effective Schools? Would Edmonds also find your choices to be essential in the leadership of effective schools?

Project 2: Promoting Health Care Quality

Throughout this course you have been considering the relationship between structure, process, and outcomes as it relates to health care quality. Looking at outcomes, alone, may not tell the “whole story.” For instance, if you are concerned with improving fall rates, evaluating the process—related activities or practices—can help you identify factors that contribute to outcomes and develop strategies for improving them.

For this section of your Course Project, you create a process map to examine a current process related to your quality improvement issue. You will use the results of the process mapping to redesign a process to help minimize or close the performance gap(s). As you proceed, keep in mind the importance of maintaining a patient-centered focus so the patient experience is not negatively affected by any changes in process.

To prepare:

• Review the instructions provided in the Learning Resources for creating a process map.
• With your quality improvement issue in mind, as well as the other work you have completed on your Course Project thus far, think about how creating a process map could help you to better understand your quality improvement issue and redesign an associated process.
• Create a process map using Microsoft Word or PowerPoint.
• Refine the strategies for promoting systems-level change to minimize or close the performance gap(s) that you began to think about in Week 7. As part of this, identify a way to redesign at least one process based on your analysis of the process map that you have created.

To complete:

• Write a 2- to 3-page paper in which you describe quality improvement strategies that you selected related to your quality improvement issue.
• Finalize your process map, which will be submitted along with the paper.
