Eight Keys to an Extraordinary Board-Superintendent Partnership

Eadie describes how the superintendent can wear the "chief partnership officer" hat while leading and managing a board-superintendent partnership program. Special attention is paid to such critical partnership building tools such as:* Empowering the board * Building board member ownership of their governing work * Making governing work easier and more fun * Involving senior administrators in providing executive support to the boardFor superintendents, school board members, and school system senior administrators.
