Leadership Succession for Tomorrow's Schools
Open accessAbstract
The purpose of the study was to elicit perspectives from teachers and educational leaders concerning leadership succession and the motivations/readiness of professionals to assume leadership roles in schools. The study involved electronic surveys and focus group involving teachers, in-school administrators, superintendents, directors and board chairs. In total, 838 educators participated. Implications of the perceptions of these educators for succession strategy are explored, and an argument made for a systematic plan for leadership succession in schools.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
