Excellence in leadership in our nation's public schools has
never been more vital to our children’s success than it is today. The AASA
National Superintendent Certification Program® is THE place for early career
superintendents and superintendents desiring to refresh their skill set, to engage
in a world-class professional learning opportunity. The program offers the
highest quality curriculum and the ability to join professional networks that
today’s superintendents need to become the excellent leaders for our children,
and our nation. In light of the pandemic, the AASA National Superintendent Certification Program provides a real-time focus on key issues that superintendents are facing.
AASA has planned a robust experience that focuses on sharpening
the skills that successful superintendents acknowledge are needed to thrive on
the job and provides relevant experiences for our members. It is clear that
political and economic pressures of the job are exacerbated by growing
intrusions into local control and a prevailing attitude that educators do not
have the solutions, and indeed, are part of the problem. Our certification
program will help our members thrive in
these difficult conditions.
Through our in-depth curriculum, dynamic in-person and virtual sessions,
one-on-one mentoring, Capstone Project, and long-term professional networks,
the AASA National Superintendent Certification Program® delivers the
comprehensive leadership development superintendent leaders need. Our program
focuses on key issues:
Our robust curriculum has been developed with extensive input
from leading superintendents from around the nation and is personalized and
delivered by dynamic lead superintendent teachers and expert guest presenters.
Our mentors are current and recently retired
superintendents who have been successful in leading change in a variety of
districts around the nation. They are dedicated to sharing their knowledge and
experience with the upcoming generation of education leaders, and they share
their time and talent generously with our program participants.
The Capstone Project is a practitioner-oriented project that
will challenge Participants to use their knowledge gained during the
Certification Program, current expertise, and work experience to analyze a real-time
district issue that requires intervention. Participants will develop and
implement an action plan to address the issue in a comprehensive and lasting
way.
To date, about 200 AASA members have completed the AASA National
Superintendent Certification Program®, with overwhelmingly positive results.
The camaraderie, honesty and openness that participants describe are the
experiences for which our AASA members have been asking. AASA membership is a
requirement for the program.
