“What Every Rookie Superintendent Should Know: Surviving Year One”
by Robert Reeves
There is often a lack of preparation of new superintendents by universities and professional associations. Meanwhile, new superintendents are so focused on getting the job that little time is spent on what it takes to be successful. What Every Rookie Superintendent Should Know: Surviving Year One lays the foundation with a systematic mind-set, strategic thinking approaches, and skills sets, which not only help the rookie survive but also decrease the learning-curve time.
Robert Reeves presents a conversational approach between the rookie superintendent and the sage mentor and highlights real-life situations and survival strategies. The mentor provides time-tested building blocks upon which the rookie can build a strong 1st-year foundation. The mission is to improve learning for all students by pulling an organization out of chaos and creating a well-functioning school district.
ROBERT REEVES, now retired after 48 years in public education, heads The Reeves Consulting Group. For nearly 3 decades, he served as CEO/Superintendent of the Poway Unified School District in the San Diego area.
